Replaced bent exhaust valve reassembled everything now car will not start only cranks. What could I have over looked or need to do? No stored codes only one pending po365 and po367 came up once then went back to po365 pending. Transmission fail-safe drive moderately showed up on dash.

Hello,

We must start by checking the compression is see if the valve timing is close.

Here are a guide to get you started.
