Yes, a backfire can cause a bent push rod. When an engine backfires, it creates a sudden and violent explosion in the intake or exhaust system, which can generate excessive pressure. This pressure can lead to a rapid movement of engine components, potentially causing the push rods to bend if they are subjected to forces beyond their design limits. Additionally, other factors like misadjusted valves or improper timing can exacerbate the risk of bending a push rod during a backfire.
