I found out that the pushrod on #5 cylinder had broke and top part i pulled with a magnet. Where will the other part or parts be? I removed each pushrod and check the hole with a magnet but nothing came out. I dont want to remove the heads but ill leave it as last option. Why would the push rod break? It also looked like it melted once it broke because the broken piece was nice and melted round. How do i check if lifter is bad or if any damage was done internally. I removed the side plate where the fuel lines are to see if anything but idk what else to do to get the rest of pushrod out or check any damage. When my truck broke down i drove it like that for about 1 mile. It ran only rough and smoking mix white and black. Any

 

fords are hard to work on!!!
