Bent valve symptoms

[jungle at hickorytech.net]

My 1.8t A4, was purchased w/ a blown t.belt.  12 bent exhaust valves.  I
spent almost $2k getting it back on the road.  BUT I am a bit OCD when it
comes to repair, and I subscribe heavily to the "while you are in there"
theory.  So the car got Samco Boost hoses, bunch of new seals, t.belt,
water pump, diverter valve, spark plugs, chain tensioner ect. ect.....One
thing i am kicking myself for is not replacing my lifters.  The car
sounds almost dieselish because the lifters are noisey.
