Default How do I check for a bent valve

I have a b18b and the head is completely off the car. Due to a valve bent noise and clicking also engine shaking. I test the valves using water and no water leaked thru them. Is there any easy way to check for them?

You were supposed to do a "leak down" test while the head was still on the car and before that compression. But you just a went an pulled the head cause you heard a noise.

Since u took the head off, you basically made it impossible to test for bent valve unless u have the proper equipment, which I doubt you do. Your only option at this point is to take it to a machine shop and have them vacuum test it...
