did you do another leak down on 5 with the rockers off? something does not sound right..bent pushrod will not cause the valve to hang open..just sayin...plus why replace one p/r? get a set of 5/16 one piece 7.4, upgrade your springs too...many nixed the idea of 3/8 p/r but per my sig..they work...very well.. just drove to camaro fest...9.5 hrs each way..a/c on..22mpg..and lets just say I woke a shit load of people up both directions...and this motor will do 7k shifts all day no worries...
here is how it sounds...
