Bent up stuff

There is no way in holy hell you have .380" clearance. That's over 3/8"! No way, no how. I am tellin you sure as ****, the pushrods bent because valves and pistons occupied the same space at the same time.
I believe you. I am running cometic .100 head gaskets though. Due to the closed chambers on the pro comp heads and my Pistons come out of deck at .027. I am not trying to deny anything. I am just wanting to fix it and do it right. How do I identify coil bind while adjusting the valves? Is it pretty obvious when the spring coils contact each other? I am still learning about valve train geometry.
