BENT PUSH RODS
Hi, I have a 1967 Plymouth GTX 440. The engine is completely stock except for headers and a cam. I am having trouble with it lately. The push rods on one valve keep bending. There was a ticking sound coming from the rocker, and now that just stopped. When we put the new push rod in, we noticed the the engine was banging on one side. Once the lifter filled with oil again, the banging stopped. Then, I drove the car around the block. Came home, shut it off. A minute or so later, started the car, no oil pressure. This also happened last night on the highway near 5000 rpm, but we weren't doing that in the driveway. So, and help would be great.
