Good day all,
Considering to punish myself again and replace all of my Push rods on my 02 7.3L Excursion. Read a few articles, but since I received great advice here with my Injectors I figured I'd look for the best course of action in this. So any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Do they need to be replaced, and if so why?

Think after my lil run in with the hydrolock I may have bent a rod slightly. sounds like I may have a slight tick noise that I don't remember hearing before.

Okay. Then it's time to pull valve covers. Remove the push rods making sure you remember the position they were in. By that I mean Cyl 1 intake, Cyl 4 exhaust, etc.

Roll them on a known flat surface. If one is bent you'll know it.
