I didn't think about pulling the push rod out to inspect it. Another great
idea.
Thanks Sammie

How bad is it bent? You can pull your rocker assembly (easy task) and pull the
push rod and see if it has any sign of abuse (metal to metal contact) from the
bent tube. While you are there you can insert something (like a tommy bar)
into the bent tube and give it some straightening from the inside. Worse case
if it's really bent is that it also bent the push rod; or it is bent enough to
contact the push rod and eventually the push rod working metal to metal will
wear a hole in the tube=> oil leak. Or, just check the valve adjustment on
that valve and if it is ok then no bent push rod and just ignore it till the
next engine tear down.
My 2 cents

I noticed one of my push rod tubes has a bend in it. It doesn't seem to be
leaking oil. How big of a deal is this? I'd like to keep it running for the
up coming shows and not have to do a total tear down.
