Can't be that. If you lost an exhaust valve, the header on that side would not be red hot, it would be lukewarm, since there can be no combustion (and thus no heat) in a cylinder that has dropped an exhaust valve.
I don't know what "jacked up the cylinders" means. I don't think that's a very commonly used diagnostic term for an internal combustion engine problem.
My guess is your engine is fine internally, and your problem was some kind of air to fuel ratio issue.
