I tried to point this out in another thread, it' just my opinion.
If your valves are worn chances are so is everything else and one thing leads to another.
I'm guessing you'll have about $60 in gaskets and guides etc.. just to grind the valves but if you're gonna go that far why not remove the jugs? and if you're gonna go that far why not replace the rings? and if you're gonna go that far why not have the bores trued? because they're not now. and if you're gonna go that far then the improved compression will put a new strain on the rods and as I stated it's after all that that you'll soon break the rod and damage a jug or the block itself.
To answer the question about the jug and piston-
Unbolt the jug and pull it off the studs and then remove the wrist pin leaving the piston in the jug, if you go this route do not remove the piston, there's not need to just to do your valves. It's just me but that's a lot of effort, time, and money for a bandaid.
