but he says he cant pull it out, thats no good for a pushrod, why in the hell did it bend like that in the first place

looks like you need to take the intake off and make sure there isnt more dmage than you can see from there, or just to get a pair of pliers under there to pull that SOB out

wow! can they bend on the other end? if that end is that bad what can the other side look like. I wouldn't try and force it out not knowing what kind of damage might be learking on the other side. Pull off the head man.

Yet if you want to try and get it out can you bend it back at all?

its already fucked off man...I'd bend it back strait or not your in need of new pushrods. Once you bend it back your chances of getting it out might be better. It look like since its "SO" bent the shaft of it (HAHAHA I SAID SHAFT) might be hung up on the inside of the hole. Just guessing...

you HAVE to remove the intake,
one,to see where its held/jammed at
two,check lifter
good luck.

dude, just remove the damn intake. and be done with it. make sure when the intake is off theres no serious damage and check the lifter/lifters. how the hell did it bend like that anyway??

pull the head, take it to a machine shop and have them check to see if anything else is screwed up. had to be a reason why it did that

I vote to pull the head off and cut one end of the rod off , then pound or pull it out. Damn nice mess. Good luck

Remove upper and lower intake. Check all P-rods and replace broken one(s). Reasemble.
