Get yours re faced and fit new gaskets, personally I'd recommend a full engine rebuild with new big end bearings as well, otherwise it's quite likely that you'll have to do it all over again in 1500km.

Explain what happened to the engine, did the head gasket let go and mix water with oil? and for how long did you cook the engine?

The engine has never cooked, but its building a lot of pressure in the cooler system, when I rev the engine the coolent level raise a lot.

Just get the head gaskets replaced, have the block split and new bearings fitted.

Don't worry about the valves, they can't make contact with anything unless the cam belt has snapped or jumped some teeth.

You could have the heads refurbished with new oil seals and the valves ground in, if it worries you?

Those heads are pretty good anyway, so why buy again?
