hey guys i installed a used motor that i had bought from overseas.I had vender install new head gasket.Tryed to start and all it did was sputter.Took timeing belt cover off a noticed that the timeing is off 180.I dint change anything yet and am worried that vavles are bent now.dont know for sure yet.What are my chances that the vavles are Not bent or should i just take head off and replace bent valves or just fix the timmeing by ripping the front of the motor apart.I just want to save some time and cash.Any help from you guys would be great.Thanks

Valves are 100% not bent. Reset the timing and go from there.
