Bent valves in an RS6 motor?
Hi gang,
Someone has offered me a RS6 motor with bent valves... What do you think it's worth and is fixing the thing even possible?

The guy said:
"The engine has sustained valve damage due to a broken cam gear. The engine has done 5,000 kms and is a complete bottom end with heads, it also comes with the following
Turbos
Air box
Starter Motor
Coils
Alternator
It requires new valves and an alternator bracket (oil/water cooler)."

I wonder
what you have to do to bend a set of valves? This is the first I've read of anyone having this problem except once an A8 4.2 V8 motor had injested water and it resulted in bent valves. Perhaps caused as a result of an accident? I'll try to find out more.
The seller has so far not given any information as to the cause in his emails. I'm thinking the owner really bashed it one to have bent valves after shuch a short number of miles (kilometers) driven.

" I am looking for around $6000 Australian and I am in Sydney "
