Whats up guys. Here my questions. Do you need to get your heads machined before you reinstall them if you removed them to replace bent valves?

 

I'm not a professional by any mean, but if you're going to replace the headgasket, you might as well get the heads machined so the new gasket can seat in properly.

 

Bent valve? What's happened? You and your mechanic will have to inspect the cylinder head for all the damage to the valve seats, head surfaces and so on. The machine shop will have to follow the factory spec. and remove only necessary metal to make the cylinder head true/straight and still be able to use factory head gasket.
What's happened? Only thing I can figure is the engine sucked in some water, broke timing belt or badly wrong cam timing....

 

My mechanic got confused with the timing marks when replacing the timing belt and didn't time it correctly. This is why the valves are bent. There are only 3 bent valves on one head, and he said it won't require a machine job. However, I live next door to a mechanic, and he said its a must to get the head machined after its pulled.

 

I wouldn't bother to machine the head from the problem you have described. You could easily create more problems, and the head surface should not have been effected just from tagging a couple valves. Save your money.
