You need to take the head off and replace at least the intake valves that are bent. Your timing chain jumped a tooth and had it been correctly diagnosed at the beginning it would have saved you a lot of money. M271 engines are notorious for they're timing chain problems. Here is what you need: timing chain, all the chain sprockets (they wear down), timing chain tensioner, all the valves that are bent, new head gasket, new valve gasket, thick wallet and a new car (with something else than an M271)

The most complex systems can fail in the simplest way.
