I've seen bent valves on OHV engines when the timing belt breaks. This happens when the owner ignores the recommended maintenance schedule. So I put dye on the top of the valves, put the head on without the gasket and cranked it over. No dye transferred to the head so I knew that there was enough clearance that bent valves wouldn't be a concern.
