As far as tear down........I know its best to tear her down but not in the books no time.Its in my plow truck = not making money = change cam drop the oil/ filter and hope for the best. Yes I think you are correct about pushrod.... nate Trucks/cars there all MOPARS 98 w2500 cummins24v5spd 85 w350 crew/short360 78 w150 shortfact.440 with upgrades 87 w150 soon to be new snowfighter 75 duster.... project since1999... never to be completed

Had the block re-honed, then replaced the piston rings, all the bearings, the oil pump, cam and lifters.

Rebuild the plow setup and have the frame powdercoated while you're at it. Or... Had that happen to me once. The lobe wasn't round yet, so I just tossed in a lifter and went on my way. It was a beater and lasted a while longer (until I got rid of the car, actually). A few quick oil changes might get most of the mess out of the engine if you're lucky.

If your not going to keep the engine very long, sure just throw it back together and make sure your AAA is paid up.
