I think you're going to need a bigger toolbox.

Well finally hit the bit I needed to take the head off. Then about an hour searching for the hidden bolt. Man this car is making me mad. Broke some vac lines also. Idk what I'm gonna do. Might say f it and part it out.

But here's a pic of the ever so lightly bent valve. Can you guess the bad?

Looks like you pulled all the wiring off the core support (radiator mount) instead of just unplugging it next to the power steering reservoir?

Looks like it was probably due for a valve job soon anyway. Since you are that far in to it maybe pull the other side and get a full valve job? Not much additional to the time/ expense already accrued. Probably won't bring much at the wreckers or were you thinking about parting it out yourself?
