Valves in V6

I bought a 95' 900SE V6 a few months back and man do I wish I would have known about this timing belt tensioner problem. Well it gave up on me a week ago and bent valves in cylinders 1,2,4 and 6, I have both heads removed and bought a cheap valve compression tool and with the help of a 3/4" deep socket can get the bent valves out. What is the easiest way to get the new ones in? The only thing I can think of at this moment is a 3/4" dowel with a notch cut into it so I can get the keepers on.
Also, I found valves at eEuroparts.com $7.50 and $29.90, does anybody know of a better place?
Any other advice on this would be appreciated also, first time working on aluminum heads!
Anything that I should replace while I'm in there?
Thanks,
