I would suggest that the bent push rod, providing it came from an adjacent cylinder is more likely collateral damage after the main event disrupted normal operation. Main event was lifter failure causing the cam to stop suddenly, timing chain fails or at least slips allowing the next cylinder in progression to experience valve to piston contact. Causing the push rod, being the weakest link in the assembly, to bend.
It's all just speculation not seeing the engine for myself.
