Bent up stuff

That would probably be best. However, aside from two broken springs and 13 bent pushrods everything else seems to be okay. I am replacing all valve springs and stronger pushrods. If things still are not right, then I will pull motor and start over. There is always the option to pull motor. In fact, I just installed it a month ago. It isn't a show car. Just an old hot rod that happens to be a 1 of 130 1969 'Cuda 4 speed 383 car.

Better to check everything now. If there's a problem with the rollers or cam it will eat itself in short order.
