Take a step backwards.
What caused the pushrod to break ?
If it was not simply wearing through at the support then was the problem diagnosed & corrected ?
Do both the valves sit at the same heights when fully closed ?
If not the head has overheated and the valve guide shifted and along with this the valve seat could also be loose and causing sealing problems.
I like to do an in line spark tester & starting fluid test to non starters thus you halve the area of concern .
Otherwise you start at one end and check everything, compression, leak down, fuel flow, valve timing, spark timing etc etc etc
