Farmall H push rods

About three years ago I purchased an H from my boss tractor runs and drives good. Recently I was doing some work under the hood and I drove it with the hood off. Noticed some oil leaking out of the tappin cover, Pulled cover off to find gaket shot... Also upon further inspection noticed that 5 out of 8 push rods had minor to major bends in them. I am wondering about putting new rods into and old engine if this a good idea or a no no. Thought about straightening them but not even goin to try that. Anyone let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
 
If you don't have a good anvil. drive to the nearest railraod and lay them on the track and straighten with a heavy ball peen hammer.
Be sure and adjust the valves (017) warm summer day temp.

I'm of the same thoughts as Gordo other than the warm, summer day. You can work on your tractor any time of year. :lol: The book says to adjust them to .017 with engine at operating temp. That is a little difficult to do so I generally set them at .016 cold. The old Cases were notorious for bending rods in the field. My neighbor is a Case man and he said they would pull them in the field and straighten them on the drawbar. If Zach has a set I would certainly put them in.
 
Try that in this area and you're likely to have a bored Homeland Security agent shoot you in the back!
