replacing push rods

i have to replace one bent push rod. should i replace the rest while im at it or not?

 

Pushrods don't bend unless there is a problem causing that to happen. If you are thinking that changing all of them out will keep this from happening again, then that isn't correct.

I like to change out pushrods when

1) going with new cam / lifters and / or rocker arms.

2) On the rare occurance that they are plugged with deposits and not letting the oil through to the rocker arms.

 

he bent a pushrod from an over-rev, though.

 

Then, I'd invest in valvesprings and pushrods
