It's a REALLY long story, but the bent pushrods didn't come from a factory problem. I had the engine rebuilt and installed a solid lifter cam... the problem didn't come from improper valve lash, but from poor preparation of the Aussie quench heads I bought from California.

BUT, that being said, while I was still suffering from bending pushrods every 500 miles, the DeTomaso mechanics diagnosed the problem and fixed it by changing my headers. For $1800.

Either the valve spings were binding because the didn't match the lift or the valves were binding in the guides, or the valves were hitting the pistons because of the lift. Those are the only items that will bend the push rods.
