I've been a dealership technician since 1984...it's bad ju ju to disparage someone else work, but I will tell you this. I can tell by looking at the parts used that you have a LS3. I work in a high volume shop, and specialize in Corvette. The only lifters we have a problem with collapsing are the AFM lifters, never the standard lifters the LS3 uses. I have replaced numerous bent push rods in the LS3 Corvettes and Camaro's and have never had to replace a lifter as a result or cause. I'm going to assume that you had a inexperienced tech (which are plentiful these days) working on your car. The reason I make that assumption is that there is a bulletin concerning the LT style V8 for 20-21 trucks that bend pushrods due to a collapsed AFM lifter.
I'm pretty confident I could have fixed you with nothing more than a pushrod, valve cover gasket and possibly a oil change!
