try this

I wouldn't bid on these heads.Look atthe 2nd to last picture, this head has been overheated. Notice that all the carbon deposits have been washed away in one of the combustion chambers by a coolant leak into the cylinder. They are likely cracked or warped as well, but they definitley blew the head gasket on that side.

I also would take a chance on doing the heads. I'd be very suprised if those valves did any damage to anything. Valve stems bend very easily, they didn't stand a chance against those pistons.

Good luck

that was just an example, heads are available cheaper than the valves.

I understand, I just wanted to point that out so that no one would end up with a bad set of heads. I just have an eye for this kinda stuff after working on cars for almost 20 years its second nature.
