Bent up stuff

I understand, but why would the geometry call for longer pushrods if a bigger cam is installed? I was running shorter pushrods with a smaller hydraulic cam.
Now I understand the geometry. However, that also takes me back to coil bind as the culprit. I am listening and really appreciating everything y'all are helping me with. A lot to take in though! I am definitely going to do my own valve geometry checking from this point on.
