you should be just fine with a new valve job. The only thing is when you re-do the timing belt, get the drivers side Balance Shaft in the right position.

I would take the head to a machine shop and have it checked for warpage or cracks.....just to be safe.

did the valve guide seals and water pump timing belt and tensioners and balance shaft belt valve cover gasket runs like a champ
