Andrew, I do have spare heads, interesting thoughts. Was going to take to machine shop for a complete valve job, but if I scavenge 8 good intakes from the other heads, give them a good "lapping", I could be good to go! You have me thinking. Took head off today, pics to follow....

Look on realoem for part number on the head it will show what other models use it.
We were able to mix and match heads so we picked two of the four that looked the best but didn't need machining. Heads were not damaged from the bent valves.
I spun each valve in a drill to confirm which were still ok. Some slightly bent were hard to tell.
Oh I also used steel wool and scotch bright to clean each valve while spinning in the drill.
