Hi and welcome to the NAM family, Lukesgarage!
Congrats on finding a nice one.
Make sure to only use full synthetic oils and only premium fuel. Many people try to get away with regular fuel and it is only designed for premium. Burned valves are often due to earlier flash point of the regular fuel and this can eat these valves.
I am also sure, the valve guides need to be replaced and the valve stems need to be checked for wear also!
Keep us posted!
