Unfortunately this is not a one of a kind problem. Valves do stick on these engines. Moisture condensation. Crank them every 30 days. Make sure you do not have a milky foamy oil on top of head which indicates sleeve oring leakage or other problem. Check out the rocker arm stands, sometimes they crack as well. 70203018 is the n for the push rods. IF they are not kinked or really 's'd, one can take a leather or plastic mallet and place the push rod on a flat surface and straighten them. Takes a few minutes but doable. I would not go for all 8, just the bent ones. Put them on a flat surface and roll them to see. Gleaner E EIII, D17s, WD's 226 and 201's all used the same push rods.
