1) Valve stem could have bent.
2) Push rod could have bent.
3) Neither, but you could have your valve lash mis-adjusted.
The stem may have pushed out for a reason, if something is binding up for instance.
You also could have valve springs that are too stiff for the press in studs to tolerate, and this one might not be the only one to pop.
