need help car still f-ed up . redid everything
i have a b18b in my hatch and i loser shifted it into 2nd instead of 4th. yeah well was hoping none of the valves were bent. so took the valve cover off and found that the valve adjustment were way off. didnt want to just stop there thought piston might of chip so took the head off. well the pistons looked good no chips but groves on the piston where the valves clear were clean so yeah appears that the valves hit. but still hoping for the best so got cometic head gasket and hondata intake manifold and put the ish together. torqued everything to specs and timed it perfectly but the car was idling like it had big *** cams. ****. turned the car off and checked compression. cylinder 1-3 150. 4th cylinder is 180. still hoping for the best and that it was idling funny cause of iacv so cleaned it. still expletive ran like **** . still not giving up on it so thought its a vacuum leak from the intake manifold turned the car on and sprayed some carb cleaner on the manifold wassnt dying out or anything so expletive gave up and decided it has to be a bent valve. is my conclusion correct or does anyone else have any info i could use any advice would be widely appreciated. thank u for ur time and yes i know im hard headed . thanks in advance

Your conclusion is probably right.. sounds like your on the right track man
Ive seen someone else do that with a supercharged b18 and they spun the crank aswell but then again they were racing..
Honestly I would have pulled the valves out the first time i pulled the head and checked them for straightness..but that sounds like your next step..and while your at it you can lap the ones that arent bent when you do the new ones if you dont replace them all and replace the valve-stem and cam seals..
