And the push rods should not turn just be in one position?
No, they should spin freely but generally it's hardly noticable(as in a couple RPM)!

Rotella - never heard of it. Probably almost impossible to get in Poland.
I’ll be watching this closely. My MPG is also pretty bad. Lucky to get 15 highway. I average less than 10. And it’s constantly shifting from 3-4 on the highway due to it needing like half throttle to maintain highway speeds. But I also have lots of blowby so I know it’s worn. Curious to see how this ends up
What about rocker arms and head bolts? For bolts I have found 1 set in poland, but it looks different, and i'm not sure if it will fit.To me it looks good for a new cam, lifters, pushrods, and a new head gasket.
GreatYou'll need to set the preload on the lifters properly and you should be good to go. This looks like a minimal rebuild to me. The head gasket needs to be installed correctly and I can offer some help there. Likewise, I'll give you the procedure for setting the lifter preload properly.
Also, while the head is off, spray GumOut into each cylinder to free any stuck-closed piston rings.
