bent valves and diesel head bolts

I am in the process of freshening up the MC-1 motor before it goes into the
rally car. I am going to run the NA head since I want to use the vacuum
pump so after I pulled the head I have found one, possibly two, bent valves
on that head. Since I am going to replace the exhaust valves on NA head
with the ones from the turbo head can I use the intakes valves also?  Any
BTDT on compressing the springs? I haven't tried yet but it doesn't look
like a Chebby valve spring compressor would work.  Also can anyone confirm
that you can use VW diesel head bolts that aren't stretched instead of the
stock Audi ones? I have been told that the VW ones are cheaper.
TIA
