check both your valve and spark timing
If you are talking about the PISTON RODS then they will not make any noise. The engine will just wear the pistons and cylinder walls until you have a problem with oil comsupition. If the push rods or bent then you will have a engine miss and rocker arm noise in the valve covers/ clatting noise.
Line up the timing marks, install new chain and gears, then do a compression test. If you have some cylinders with no compression, the push rods and maybe some valves are bent. There may be some piston damage done also. Good luck.
Worn or bent push rods or worn rocker arms. Incorrect adjustment procedure. depending on what type of lifters some of them have to be pumped up manually .Worn or bent push rods or worn rocker arms.

First of all, Chevy rocker arms NEVER tighten all the way up. You probley have push rods BENT on both valves. But it sounds like the camshaft lobes are worn off and the bottom of the lifters are worn out. Replace bent push rods and cam and lifters.
To replace a bent push rod in an engine, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the valve cover to access the push rods, then carefully take out the bent push rod, noting its orientation. Install the new push rod in the same position, reassemble any components, and ensure everything is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications before reconnecting the battery and testing the engine.

The rocker arm.
Being an overhead cam engine, a Neon doesn't have push rods.
Double check the new push rods, they come in many lengths.
You will have to have these custom made.
It's not really about what rockers you run. If you have guide plates, you need hardened push rods.
A 2002 Chrysler Sebring has an overhead cam engine. That means it does not have push rods.
