the timming belt came off, bad pully, and I have a new belt installed just to see if the car would run, it did and only smoked when you took off. I pulled the head and had a shop do the head, 2 valves bent, they put nes valves in I reinstalled the head and now it smokes more than it did. I feel it is still a head problem any help

It's possible it may have smashed one of the valve seats in one of the cylinders that's letting oil leak down into it. Try a compression test once you let the engine warm up, and it should give you some clues as to which cylinder's smoking.
