Default Overreved!!! -- On the way to Canadian Grand Prix(quick help)

Well to make a long story short, on the way to canadian grand prix i misshifted 3-2 and overreved... continued to drive on highway, drove fine, then came to rest area, and it was idling bad w/ engine code. so in the rest stop area checked the code, it was overrev code and misfire on cly 4... plugs looked good, but compression on #4 was 120... so probably bent valve.

The car is parked somewhere, but i need some advise on suggestions for what to order. So far my list would be ...

Headgasket
Headstuds
Valve cover gasket
Valves(as needed)
Head Job(as needed)
Hondata IMG
Exhaust Manifold gasket
Coolant

... is there anything else you can think of that i would need. I am going s/c later so don't say raise compression ...

Also what's the best place to order this stock ****.. thanks guys, go easy on me, i just came back from the drive.

If your gonna need valves you'll probably need pistons and if you need pistons you will probably need to rebore or sleeve your cylinders.

And remember dont replace.... Upgrade

Depending on how bad it was, you might need to get new springs and retainers. Might as well upgrade to titanium. I don't think there's damage to your pistons, hopefully, there isn't. good luck.
