Don't make multiples of the same thread. Have some patience and you'll get an answer.

You very well might have, if you're not having issues, don't worry about it, if it matters that much to you, go in and take a look. I say just get it retimed and see how it runs

Retime it and do a compression test. That will be the best indicator if you have bent valves. I ran for some time with 3 bent valves. It idled and ran fine, but I had low compression in a couple cylinders.

Do a leak down test. if you have bent valves you can probably get them replaced at a decent price.
