Was it a clicking noise or a banging noise? clicking could mean your relays are burning out for your pgm fi. If you want to know if it's your valves, do a compression check by getting a gauge from the autoparts store and spin the crank. You could also open the valve cover to see if there's any damage to the valve stem. One of the ways that you could have bent your valves is from a loose timing chain or running the car at high rpm for too long. But if you have a bent valve, assuming it messed up the valve seat and such, you would need a whole new cylinder head which could cost up to $1500 dollars.
