push rods

i let a friend drive my car this past weekend and he bent the intake push rods on one bank . I checked the valve springs on both side with spring checker and they all are about the same . I drove the car the week before and didn't have any problem . What the heck happened ??

He may have let the RPM get away from him in the water box. I would recommend you do a leak down on the motor to see if the valves are still sealing.
