Will be picking up a set of hardened push rods in the next day or so.
After you install those hardened push rods then youll find the other weak link in your valve train. Sometimes bending a push rod is a clear sign of something else wrong. Even with wear from the guides I would still look for another problem before you put those hardened rods in there.

just a thought.
