Depends on how bent they are. Here’s a good one that some guys don’t think of.
I’ve seen valves so bent you’d think they wouldn’t seal, but if you put enough spring load on them, they will seal up.
So it’s possible your valves are bent a bit, but even 120 pounds of seat old can partially seal up a bent valve.
That’s just an FYI because I’ve seen it many times.
