Well now that I look at it again, I would say go ahead and pull the valves remove the hyd. lifters ( I would do this one at a time.) and get some valve grinding compound and a hand valve grinder (You may get some strange looks at some parts stores, because they only know of one kind of grinder.) Just a little dab of valve grinding compound and seat the valves, you should see a nice ring all the way around the valve, then just wipe up whats left of the valve grinding compound. If you see a gap in the ring on the valve that usually means that valve is bent. Don't forget to plug the holes around the valves and there are holes behind the valves also. Clean the Hyd. Lifters, press check them and you should be good to go. From what I've read dirt is the biggest cause of Hyd. Lifters not woking correctly.
Hope this helps.
