So I am new to mechanics, it is the rod that is over the lifters that are manipulated by the cam lobes. It pushes up the thing that looks like an oil derrick on top that opens and closes the valves. I can't tell if it is slightly bowed, or if the rust stain on the back is giving an optical illusion as I am spinning it by hand. I keep meaning to put a straight edge on them. What is the proper method for straightening? (Grandpa says it is not bent enough to bother "fire in the hole, she will run!") I like your plan. Get us a video of the startup!
One of the push rods is bent or a connecting rod? If it's the former, it would be worth your time to try straightening before starting.
