Default Valve replacement

So yea, popped check engine light last week, couldn't pass smog so I had to get it checked up. Had compression test , 190 cylinder 1, 230 cylinder 2, 240 cylinder 3, and 235 cylinder 4. Leak down test on cylinder one shows 33% leakage at 100 psi. Yup, this blows, valves are bent on cylinder one. Anyone know or do side jobs that want to help me fix this? I went to a few shops and I just cant afford their asking prices . So please help a brotha out if you know any body that can fix this let me know . Thx , and dont let anyone drive your CAr !!!! duma

Sorry to hear but either way you look at it its not only pricey but the downtime sucks too. Im having my topend rebuilt as we speak and it is pricey but has to be done. Just cross your fimgers and hope nothing else isnt need of replacing when they open it up.
