I took my car in to Kia in FL and they looked it over for a recall and found the recall to the top of my engine had damaged a cylinder valve was bent in the cylinder a piece from the recall damaged upper portion of the head, could the cylinder valve being bent caused sludge?

they found sludge in the engine and now wont help me fix my car, I have read that cylinder heads being broken can cause the sludge is this right?

A bent valve will not cause sludge. Do you have record of oil changes? Also, if it is a recall, they should fix it. A recall is a recognized problem with the vehicle that should be taken care of by the manufacturer.

Let me know.
