Lloyd got around to taking apart my heads today and found 3 of the valves were bent at the tip by where the locks and retainers are, not on the part of the valve thats in the chamber. I'm getting new valves put in but I was just wondering if anyone knew what would cause this.

The heads are at lloyds shop so no pics. When I bought the car it had dual springs with crane 1.6 s/a rockers, and I just recently switched to comp 1.6 nsa rockers, 918 springs, ect.
