Just pull both heads and do a valve job. These are good engines and should last a long time with proper maintenance.
Or look through our classified add section and buy a low mileage engine.

How many miles are on yours?

That's nothing for a modern engine. If it looks clean inside from proper maintenance with no sludge, just redo the heads and it should be fine.
