I'm not trying to burst anyone's bubble but even a destroyed valve will spread and drastically lower any expected longevity of a rebuild if the engine is not completely dismantled, boiled in cleaner and inspected via virtual microscope.
My thoughts don't even account for the ever so close tolerance of your engine. Before you plan I would count on full disassembly and complete professional rebuild.
In the end it's up to you. Don't mean to bother you but just wanted to send you a bit of advice.
Good luck.
