Bent valves

[LV-DSM]

Being that I am apparently a total moran, I bent a few valves on my new head. In the 30 seconds of chaos, the valves weren't bent too badly. I can't see any broken guides. Since this head is brand new and it looks like I only need 8 valves, what is the minimum I can expect to have to replace? Will I have to replace the seats and guides again? I just want to know what I am getting into so I can pick up the parts before dropping it off at the machine shop.

you may have got lucky and not cracked the guides.

you will need the valves, if the head is a fresh rebuilt, not many miles on it, they should be able too just lap the new valves in.

if you cracked tthe guides, you will need them and seals. I doubt you will need seats.

Thanks for the reply. It looks like I did get lucky. I was only 3 teeth off and did a compression test last night and got 145 - 150 across the board. I think that is pretty good considering this is a fresh motor and the rings probably haven't seated properly. Thanks again!
