OK, may go with a used head or fix this one; I used to love lapping 60's Mercedes straight 6 valves.

my concern is potential damage to the piston(s) in addition to the valves. Never know until you open it up, and by her own description, she hasn't been keeping up on the maintenance in the car, so a whole new motor may be best for her.
