I'm probably not the one that should get involved with this thread, but I will give it a try.
How long was the engine running before you found the bent push rods?
How many push rods were found bent? and did they bend because of the wrong length or did your valves contact the piston? If yes, you may have other problems, may be bent valves or piston damage.
have you checked your compression, spark, fuel?
