Pushrods, valve springs, rocker arm, valves

[rammertide07]

I think I may have a bent push rod. It shudders under lite acceleration, but accelerates normally under firm acceleration. It has also had a slight miss I could hear through the exhaust for about a year. Other day I started it up, and it died immediately. But after that it started right back up and was fine.

I just replaced the grey cps with the black one from riff raff, so gonna see how it runs after work. Just in case I was doing pricing for pushrods, valve springs, rocker arms, and I guess new valves?? I've found aftermarket Comp Cams push rods and valve springs. I would like to get everything after market/beefer. Any suggestions on where and what to get??

And whats the deal with having the cam at the 11 o'clock position before doing this job? How do you make sure it is?

Thanks
