very possible, i think. looseness or tightness in the valve train can cause some weird problems. i think u might be looking at some lifter problems tho. reset valve lash on all the valves and drive it for a while. if they come loose again i think thats lifters. not completely sure. maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in

it could bend a push rod. i cant think of anything else off the top of my head that might mess up besides the lifter. but a stock push rod is only like $2
