Re: 305 tbi ticking rod bent.

i for one am confused . are you asking about a piston rod or a valve pushrod ? also not sure what you mean by pistonheads ??? if you have a bent piston rod you need a major overhaul . if it's a bent valve pushrod , easy fix . cause may not be an easy fix . more/better info. needed . good luck .
