So I just got myself another 1992 accord today. The problem is it has a bent valve. This will be my first valve job on something bigger than a lawn mower. So I have two questions. First, since I am replacing the one valve, should I replace all of them? Second, if I should replace all of them, what brand should I get?

Hopefully someone else may be able to chime in with more experience on the matter as I don't want to lead you to make a decision that will ruin your engine.

Is sourcing a used head out of the junk yard not an option? Personally i would go this route if i was just changing a head, also i would take this time to check out the piston as valves have a tendency to not bend on their own. you can check head warpage if you have a straightedge and feeler gauges(check horizontal, veritcal and across from corner to corner).

My SE rescue project had numerous bent valves. I pulled another head with similar miles from a JY. I did a quick verification that no valves were bent by doing a compression check: pulled the plugs and cranked the engine as fast as I could by hand (1/2 drive ratchet/breaker bar - lots of extensions to get the ratchet beyond the fender helps). I got 40+ psi on each cylinder. I did have the head cleaned/checked and new valve seals installed before putting on the engine.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450
