1991 Accord, 220K miles, timing belt snapped, bent valves, dont feel like fixing!!

Ok so my beater broke, the timing belt snapped but I got that replaced. I did a compression test and 180 180 180 90. Im pretty sure cylinder 4 has 2 bent valves. Being my cheap beater, how much life do you think is left before something bad happens?

it's gonna die quick unless you pull the head off and inspect it, you will have more problems than a bent valve if you keep driving it

i don't know I have seen people get around for half a year on three out of the four cylinders firing. I do agree though you should fix the prob, even if its just getting a junk yard head, and slapping that on.
