Well, the lifters are metal cylinders that use a spring and fluid to push on the valves, so I doubt it is bent. What you probably have is a bent intake or exhaust valve. If that is the case, the cylinder head would have to be removed to replace the valve.
I would start by removing the wheels and finding the bleed screw or bolt.
Pour a little brake fluid on the bolt to free up the rust that will form over time.
Then use a box end wrench to open the bleeder.
Fill the master cylinder with brake fluid and have some ready to add as you bleed the brakes.
Have an assistant push down on the brake pedal until it bottoms out and fluid squirts out of the bleeder screw area.
Watch your eyes.
Then tighten the bleeder screw.
Have them pump up the brakes again.
Do this in sequence from the furthest wheel from the master cylinder to the closest, and you'll be done.
mine did the same thing. Where the steering column goes through the firewall (floor) there is a rubber seal. That seal has gotten dry. Apply a small amount of lube where the shaft goes through and turn the steering wheel. This helped eliminate my squeal.
the dipstick is located behind the front transmission mount and its held in by a 12mm bolt. you may need to remove the transmission mount to check the fluid. the color of the dipstick is yellow, make sure the car is in park and fully warmed up to operating temerature and on a level surface before checking the fluid.
