Steelcityfirebird,
The pushrods are not really bent..more like "warped". We ran them across a piece of glass and they wobbled slightly. You can't even tell theyre warped by just looking at it. I don't have a rev limiter installed. The car has less than 100 miles on it and it's been driven lightly. It was suggested to me that I install a rev limiter through. We haven't noticed any broken valve springs. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about cars to even begin to try and figure this out on my own. The friends that have worked on this car are very good with Pontiacs and cars in general. Though there has been a few guys working on this car, they're all on the same page so there really isn't any confusion.
Chiphead,
I hope we don't have to take the heads off. I'm staying in touch with Paul trying to diagnosis the problems. I have to admit, it's getting frustrating because this car should be on the road but I certainly don't want to continue to drive this car with these issues. Waiting for friends to find time to diagnose the issues with my motor when they have their own cars to worry about is getting old..fast.
Hopefully we'll get some time to work on the car this weekend.
