Yeah, sounds like a valve adjustment is what you need. If your valves were bent, they would not seal properly and you would lose all of your compression through them. I can't see a car running at all with no compression, much less running with no other apparent problems. Still, I may be wrong. A mechanic will certainly let you know though if you have one adjust the valves for you.

Exhaust leak=louder at higher rpms. He said it stays the same, which means the problem is probably in the lifters or valves. Bent valves might not cause your engine to die completely, but will definately cause some issues no matter if its only slight. He says no driveability issues, so I say its something different.

well you can forget about lifters being your problem since all pre k series honda motors didnt have hydraulic lifters.
all b series heads are noisy as hell to begin with but if your sure yours is noisier adjust the valve lash and if that doesnt work get a leakdown ...just like everyone else said.
