cant really see how this happens tho?

Who told you you had sticky valves? or was it just a guess, as the only way you be able to really tell would be to get the head off.... not the best sunday afternoon tinker job.

Is it caused by slightly bent valves??!?!?!?!

14xe & 16xe's were bad for sticky valves its due to a build up of carbon. Your supposed to remove the head & use a reamer down the valve guides to fix it.
If they're not that sticky then use a decent fuel flush in the tank & then another 1 drawn thru the map sensor pipe usually works
