Default J30A1 heads on a J30A5?

Is this possible? My car apparently has bent valves and according to the Honda dealership the heads and valves need to be replaced on my J30A5 from my 2006 Accord. I cant seem to find any headsfor this motor online or even a motor to purchase besides paying an arm and a leg from the dealership. I do see parts though for the J30A1 and I was wondering if this head swap is possible. Any help is appreciated.

THINK THINK THINK.......3.0 is smaller than 3.5 so smaller heads equal less power and plus its alot of work look on car-parts.com

^^^ A5 head does not equal J35. Think, think, think ..... then read. These are both J30 blocks.

As stated in the other identical thread on with this question, the A5 has a better VTEC system than the A1 and makes more power.

J35 is definitely a sick engine, but let's stick to the OP's topic please.
