If the valve is bent you will need to replace it. Otherwise you can adjust the valves and it should be good to go unless the valve and other parts are worn out.

It seems more likely that the valve stem seal is bad. If the valve is bent, then you would have low cylinder compression. Have you compression tested the cylinders?

Compression is fine. Check the valve seals for cylinder #1.
