ITR needs fixin

My valves are bent.

Is it possible 2 do a valve repair yourself? Or do i have 2 take it into a shop for the repairs?

I haven't checked yet. But what if the head is damaged? What happens?

Take it to a machine shop and they'll tell you if the head is salvageable.

there are too many outside factors and measurements that have to be inspected which require specialty tools and the knowledge on how to use the tools correctly. if you have the tools and knowledge, go for it.

otherwise, leave it to the pros. good luck!
