A bent pushrod or rods is capable of keeping the valve open. What happens when a valve stays open? The piston punches the sh!t out of it, possibly forcing the valve up breaking retainers busting out keepers...etc.
Putting a stiffer valve spring is asking a bit too much of a stock push rod. Like I said before, stock pushrods are good with stock valve springs.
How do you know that the pushrod is not deflecting and not letting the valve open up all the way?
