sooo, bent pushrod?


so im pretty sure i bent a pushrod today, put the new valve covers on and went to go for a ride now that all my oil isnt getting sucked out, anyway, making a real loud ticking sound from one of the covers, no the cover isnt hitting i already checked that. but when i pulled the cover back off one of the rockers looks turned and the others all looked straight, sounds like its coming from that exact spot too, anyway how do i tell what i need for length of them? they are stock length thats in there now so......any input?

haha dont even need to roll it on anything, ill post up a pic of it later. can tell just by lookin at it, time for some new ones, had stock ones in it, for some odd reason when i did the heads/cam i didnt put new push rods in it, any suggestions as to what size and brand to go with? i know the length i need, but i have 5/16 in it now, should i go bigger?

you have nothing crazy done to your car so stock length rods will be fine.

ya but the only reason i question that is because the push rods i had in it were only 6.15 inches while stocks are 6.385, maybe the ones i had were too short?
