Re: Bent and Broken Push Rod 350 SBC

x3 on bad gas making valves stick stick. Have seen this happen many times. Smells like turpentine.

You may get lucky pumping various solvent through the system. If not, the proper fix is to take off the heads, remove the intake valves completely, and thoroughly clean the sticky varnish from the valve stems & guides.
