This is the little surprise I got when I pulled the head off the 250sx I just bought. I am going to replace the piston since it has some pretty bad dents. Surprisingly the cylinder looks perfect. My question is do you think the head would be ok with just new valves? I don't really know how to check or what to look for. Any input would be greatly appreciated. The whole valve is bent badly. Supposedly this happened by driving into a creek while the engine was hot. I better be careful since I do that all the time. Thanks, Adam.
