How bad is it?

[B.O.B.]

So I haven't quite got the truck running during my engine/efi remodel so i decided to take of the valve covers off. Right side looked good but when I looked at the lower intake manifold it looked like I was having issues with intake 6 and 7 ( previous problem was backfiring through tb). When I got the valve cover off the #7 intake rocker was shifted to the side. Started to fix it and noticed that the pushrod was wearing against a guide and broke the guide. both intake and exhaust were rubbing and I stopped there and the intake rod is bent.

Now here are my questions. With the little amount of metal that is in the oil am I going to have to tear down everything and start from new? I really don't want to because this is a big setback and I won't have funds for an engine rebuild for quite some time. Second, if it really isn't that bad do i really need pushrod guides?

I know it sounds like a complete rebuild but anyhelp would be nice.

Thanks guys.

Put some pics up. Depending on the type of rocker arms you may not need the guide plates. I think I would fix the immediate problem, change the oil then check oil pressure. If it's good run it. If it ain't good you didn't lose much.

They are just some roller tip rockers, nothing really fancy. i will try to post some pics when i get home later today.
