Burnt valves could be a problem.  How can I diagnose it?  Will valve damage
be evident by removing the valve cover?  I assume I would then need to
replace the gasket (and possible the grommet) when refitting the cover.

Is a rebuild of the head in order, or can the valves be tended to without
major dismantling of the engine?
