Most valves are $6-7 here.
It would cost me about $250 in parts to repair your engine.
2 head gaskets, 4-6 valves, valve seals, timing belt kit.

That's quite reasonable actually, although completely irrelevant to the OP

I was trying to say, bent valves are not big deal. I don't read posts with 500 lines. People like say something like: I woke up around 6 AM, had cup of coffee, kissed my girlfriend........... And somewhere between 500 lines you can find 2 or 3 describing problem.

<'I don't read posts with 500 lines'.> hmmmm. Short attention span then ? <'It would cost me about $250 in parts to repair your engine'.> Does that include transporting it to and from the States ? Thank you for your input, I feel much better now knowing that if I'm in America I can buy my valves for $2 each less than here.

Just get a set of second hand heads, full set of valves and known good guides

I found most of it relevant actually... Gave complete history of what has happened, what has been done and the current situation

Got to agree with the OP... In this situation the repair cost over your side of the pond didn't really help much with his question re possible bottom end damage
