Re: {help} bending push rods
Since this is an overhead valve engine I would try to clean up the valve stems before running it again. Mystery oil and injector cleaner in the new gas did work for me on one engine but I did that before I knew how badly stuck the valves can get. If they all seem to move OK "by hand" you might try it. If any of them are stuck really bad (like they don't return home unless "helped" by the piston) your safest bet would be to pull off the head and take it all apart to clean and lube the valve stems. You can check for bent valve stems or other damage while you're in there. Old gas is not a fun thing to learn about "the hard way" - been there. Best of luck, hope you'll be Jeepin soon - John
