Default 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?

Did it damage the head when it was bent?

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!

If it's just the valves are bent, it's an easy repair. But take it to a shop first for an inspection. It could have bent guides, damaged seats, etc.
