Rip it apart, take the valves out and inspect them. Do valve stem oil seals whilst yo're in there but send the head away before you do to get checked over and cleaned up properly. Valves should clean up no problem but new ones aren't mega dear anyway.

Stick a thread up in your local section on here, I'm sure somebody will know someone to do it a bit cheaper for you. I'm not sure what it would cost as I've never really paid full prices on anything

There's not a lot to a head once you've stripped it tbh but get someone to clean it and rebuild it if it's something you've never done.

Haynes manual or look on here, make a thread in Help Zone for any advice. Someone local might always help you out and show you what to do.
