it'll run depending how bad the valve is bent, but you run the risk of ************ing up the pistons too. i'd tow it.

I've driven cars with bent/burnt valves for many many miles, but they were all stock. This motor may have closer valve-to-piston clearance, which could cause issues, as dougie said.

It's a tough call. I'd probably risk it though, but thats just me.
