Check everything. All the parts involved- the valve stems, pivot studs, the 
rockers, guide plates and pushrods- are hardened steel and cannot be 
straightened if even slightly bent. Matter of fact, if anything IS bent, throw it 
away before it breaks in two and takes out the top end or worse. It may only 
be a matter of visual perspective, but better to spend a couple of hours 
checking than find out the hard expensive way. good luck- J DeRyke
