I bought my truck with a slight knock that sounded like it was in the valves. I expected to find a couple of valves that needed adjustment. I actually found one valve that has a huge gap and when I turn the pushrod I see it has a pretty good bend in it.

Do I just readjust the valve? Do I take it apart and try to straighten? Or should I replace the pushrod?

The engine is running great.
