Valve bent

Like valves in the cylinder head, (i.e. Intake/exhaust)? The best bet would be Toy/Lex, like sewell and what not, however some else might be able to help you out, like a local engine/cylinder head repair guy. There is a company called Cylinder Head Repair here in Minneapolis that is awesome with just about anything engine machining, valves, etc. However I am sure there is someone more local to you that would be just as knowledgeable and a little less expensive on shipping.

I was thinking, guides totally shot? Is this a head on the bench or fully installed?

My guess is that you have concentricity issues. New guides, a prayer, and a serious 3-angle grind may work.

So I have all the valves cleaned should I just set them back in and go ahead with putting the eng back together? And the gasket was very bad!! The right one was close to blowing too

Overheating can create all kinds of problems. Honestly, a used engine would be cheaper, quicker, easier and likely more reliable. Check ebay and local salvage yards.
