Anyways, I struggled to pull the cams due to the cam cap bolts very tight but at the end, I would able to pull the cams. Once the cams were pulled, the bottom end spins freely with no problem. However, I decided to pull the heads off and see how much damaged on the pistons. Below I took picture of cylinder 1-2-3-4 bank and the piston does show hitting the valves. One cylinders 3 and 4, the middle intake valve is not seating back to the normal. The rest of the valves are seating correctly. Do you think those 2 valves are bent?
What do you think? New piston is needed and a engine rebuild? Can I just maybe have a machine shop to only replace the 2 potential bent valves? Can I just continue using these pistons?
