I just had my 454 rebuilt and was not happy with a few things but stuck with the guy anyway. Put the motor in and after breaking it in the first time I drive it it bends a push rod. I had it up to about 5000 rpms for maybe 2 seconds before I let off and I immediately knew something was wrong. I replaced the push rod but it is now making bad noises. Need to find someone who is good and honest to take a look at it.

Thanks!!!
