M,
Take the valve to your machine shop and see if they can figure out exactly what it is and get you the same brand for a replacement. There are variations in length and head diameter from different manufacturers. Most of the time there is a number around the top of the valve.

Also, why did it bend valves ? If there was not an obvious reason, then you need to get the guides checked to make sure thay are not too tight and sticking the valve open.
