Replace #8 push rod?
What is required to replace #8 push rods, rockers and bridges?
I have a poping through the intake, Listening to the videos it should like a push rod. only been doing it for 140,000 miles though

If you're studded you can remove the stud nuts one at a time but if they're TTY bolts use the tool. The alternative might be a ruined camshaft and you know what kind of nightmare that is.

I would be concerned about WHY you are getting the popping. The # 8 cylinder is usually the first one on a 6.0 to collect anything that goes through the intake. Before you start taking things apart, the most likely cause in a 6.0 would be a failed lifter. To find out, you can usually drain the oil and run a magnet through it to see if there is a bunch of metal in it. The engine will usually stop running when you lose a lifter because the debris goes through the LPOP and you lose oil pressure to the HPOP but you may have caught it real early so that's where I'd start. If no debris, inspect the pushrods to see if any are bent. If they are not bent, then you may have a damaged valve. Again, the big question is why...Good luck!

Yea without having it apart its kind of a guessing game what is wrong with it. I would pull the valve covers and check the rockers and bridges. Might be a broken rocker or the plastic clip may of broken. Need to get it fixed before your popping noise stops permanently.
