To make a long story short, i was doing studs and in the meantime i pulled out 2 push rods to look at them. Well i put them back in and thought i had them seated correctly. Put everything back together and fired it up.....apprently the rods werent seated correctly. Needless to say i made a trip to cummins to get new rods. Is there any other damage i should be worried about? Have not yet fired it up.

 

I would be checking for bent valves where those 2 bent pushrods came from. Get that cylinder up to tdc and remove the valve springs and keepers clean the valve ends and put some masking tape on the ends so they can not drop too low. Then turn the engine to lower that piston and see if the valves move freely up and down you could also pull the injector from that cylinder and have a look at the situation .

 

Just do a compression and/or leakdown test in those cylinders. You can bend the push rod tubes with out damaging the valves. It is fairly common in very cold climates when people let their engine idle excessively with out fast idle. Carbon builds on top of the piston until the valve hits it and bends the push rod tube.

 

The push rods are the weakest part of the valve train, so probley thats all thats bent. Be sure and set the valves to proper specs.
