I bent one valve on my sister's subaru three years ago before removing the heads when pulling all the timing gear off. We can talk about what I did wrong later. lol
I am freaked out. I identify the valve because it's not seating. Go to the Subaru dealer. $18 for a new valve - full retail.
Take heads to shop for a reface. They charged me $10 to replace the valve.
Lots of worrying for nothing.
Side story. When I did the heads on the 81 911 in 1996 I was paying about $50 per sodium filled valve. I went to a speed shop in Houston. A set of valves for a 350 V8 was $60. Perhaps just the intake or exhaust valve sets but it was eye opening.
