Default Pushrod is straight but................

..........it kinda catches down at the bottom where it contacts the lifter. Is this normal? My car is running like crap. All of this after a 918 broke and I also had a rocker failure. The valve catches when I spin it also(probably bent, I know).

But is the pushrod supposed to catch down there where it sits on the lifter? It hangs pretty good.
