Well, I pulled the rest of the valvetrain out this morning and found a few more issues.







I have a bent #2 pushrod and several are slightly darkened in the centers. Is this discoloration from stress?





#7 exhaust rocker looks to be getting super hot as the oil is burning on the rocker and nut. Any ideas what is going on here? This is the only one that has an issue.







All the other rockers seem to be fine. I don't have any galling on the pushrod tips at all. I noticed the guide plates on the pass side have a little wear but there is nothing really on the pushrods themselves.
