Default symptoms of burnt valves??

I just pulled my head of last night, and i noticed that my exhaust valves are really white. Is this normal or are they burnt? I had a pretty bad exhaust leak at the downpipe leading up to this, and i think i might of burnt the valves. Ive taken off my head before and i dont remember the exhaust valves being this white.

so does this mena they are burnt? thanks in advance

The white you see could be a sign of running lean; Have that checked out.
