I agree Dan. I would call MMI and order the head gaskets. Then pull the head, clean, and reseat the valves. Sometimes the fooling around trying to free up valves with oil can be a nuisance. I pulled the head off mine in 2007 and did them... haven't had a problem with valves since. Total time was a couple of hours at the most. Sometimes it better to bite the bullet.
