Take it to your machine shop first. Get it magnafluxed, checked for
flatness (and milled flat if needed) and so on. They can then tell
you if it's worth fixing or not; they'll also tell you if you need
guides and such. Minimum is to do all the exhaust vales and hardened
seats (your shop can probably supply these for less than a rover
parts place) and seals and such.
