In that case you don't need the engine out ; just remove the head and strip it down  
Replace all gaskets when you reassemble , new camshaft oil seals , new valve stem oil seals ,grind in the valves after checking the guides for play , do check the head face for flatness etc etc .
Or do you really want to go further ?  |
As above, although to make sure I'd also replace the cam belt and water pump, as you don't want to spend all that time and effort just for it to go bang afterwards.
