I wouldn’t touch that motor. Buy a rebuilt motor for ~$8k. Or just replace the entire car for about the same. Boxsters have so little value, it doesn’t make economic sense to machine the heads and replace valves. You will wind up in deep and you have no way of knowing if the bottom end was also damaged when the valves were bent. The approach would be different if this were a 911.
