push rods bent

Sounds to me like it has had piston to valve contact. I am betting the kid that sold it to your dad over-revved it and it dropped a valve. You'll be able to tell something by taking your valve cover off and looking to see if all the springs are coming up to the same point. The ones that have bent pushrods will probably not be coming up all the way, but wont go down either because the valves are bent and siezed in the guides. At the very least you need to pull the head and get the valvetrain re-done. You'll be lucky if theres not any damage to the pistons. Might also need to take a look at the cam and the tappets. Check all the injector tips if there's debris from a valve in the cylinder, it could have ruined a tip. Start diggin at it and come back with what you find....
Oh and good luck!!!!
