Best case sceanrio is new valves/guides/seals, and the head needs to come off for that. Worse case is burned piston/broken pistons, and the head has to come off for that, too.

I think I'm leaning in the direction of pulling the head and shipping it to Metric for a rebuild. But if I do that, will it be very evident what the problem is? Will I be able to identify a burned or holed piston with the head off? Or will I get everything buttoned back up only to find out the engine needs to come out?
Also, is the Haynes manual a good enough resource to guide me through the r&r?
Thanks everyone for all the good advice.
