Push rods bend before the valves do. You should be fine.
If you are taking the valves out are you doing the stem seals?

Yes, my last 300 belt snapped and that did about 6 push rods, not one damaged valve.
And yes, I am most definitely going to do the valve stem oil seals. (Elring hopefully)
I'm removing them just incase one has bent but unlikely being vertical to piston. Main thing is to check after the over revving there isn't any sticking
Not the first time ive whacked them straight & refitted them lol

Well that's the head stripped.
No major problems really.
All valve stem oil seals had come off there seat so that would cause a problem. They were genuine elring but all very hard and brittle.
Oil in 1 and 2 exhaust ports but could be left over from the runaway?
Some of the valves had black spots on there sealing ring. Maybe the start of pitting?
I've ground all 8 in using my valve lapping tool and now no black spots.
Just need to organise a shopping list now
