Just got mine out last night. All my exhaust valves are bent too. Intake ones look ok. And yeah we started lifting the head with a forklift and got hung up on that same bracket. Caught it before we bent it but I didn't think we were ever going to get it out lol. Just uploaded some pics of the valves/pistons. http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f82/n...ad-help-14757/

You replacing the valves yourself?
