just remove the cover, the cams, the bridges, the springs, rockers, valves, and valve retainers.

replace (recommend UPGRADE) the valves, retainers, and springs.

Did he bend them or blow them up?

If they shattered, say bye bye to the engine.

You'll have to take off the head to replace the valves. While the head is off you can see the condition of the pistons, but if he floated a valve i wouldn't be too optimistic
