Not sure why a valve would bend after about 18 miles (total) of running - any ideas ????

If that one is slightly on the tight side it will nip the stem when hot and the valve won't return under spring pressure once it's been opened by the cam and the piston will hit it.
A light hone of the guide should sort it out and if the valve is stainless it could have been straightened if the bend wasn't too severe.
