Not too bad. Just a little bend. Run it and you should be fine.

Kind of hard to tell in the picture. Put it on a piece of glass and see if it rolls smoothly, or at all

It's merely the refraction of light playing tricks your mind. The reality is........there is no pushrod.

Guys its all good, its slightly offset for those AFR 220 heads he's getting, the intake valve on those is offset, you can either get offset rockers or its better to do the pushrod bend mod did you know?
