You only bent 1 valve? Sounds like your head is trashed. Do a cylinder leak test to see where you have exccesive leakage.

That sounds really odd you only bent 1 single valve while driving. What else happen to the motor?

I still think you have more then one bent valve, there are4 valves for every clyinder, 2 intake and 2 exhaust. If you bent one you should had bent the other one w/ it???

Was the valve guide cracked?
