Ok if you say so 😂
Happens every day in a Chevy and dodge dealer. Lifter collapses or the needle bearing/roller fails making the lifter shorter allowing the pushrod to become not aligned and can get between things they don’t belong between.
Sub 10k mile 5.3/6.2 are doing this everyday. I’ve done hemis that the same thing happened.
I agree if the pushrod comes out and gets jammed where it should not be. As long as the push rod is in place it should not bend unless there is something binding in the rocker or valve not allowing proper travel. Then the pushrod is the weak link. Poster did not say much about the rest so there must be a reason for this failure.
