My 402
has several bent ones as well. I didn't notice which ones. It looked like the
cam lobes were extremely worn though.I suspect that
the cams they used were a little too soft.
Plus
the oil they used back then was not near as good and things wore down pretty
fast. Especially if it wasn't changed often. Back then an engine would be lucky
to see 100,000 miles. Now it's rare if you can't get 130,000 - 200,000 out of
one if the oil is changed regularly and/or you use
synthetic.
Just
my opinion.

HI i have a 402 that I took apart, all the intake push rods are bent, but
none of the exhaust, any ideas what would cause this?? the valves look fine
(haven't kissed the pistons) and the rest of the engine looks ok except it
was pretty sludged up.
thanks !
