dont worry about the valvetrain, the head should be fine.
Worry about pistons, rods. Maybe studs, I've heard of head lift or something on d series, althought i could be incorrect, I dont know anythingabout d series engines.
Does your 1k budget include parts and engine work? Boring and honing may cost a chunk of that, then witht he price of the pistons and rods, you may go over that 1000 dollar budget.

Re: (numbnuts22715)
assembly might cost you around $700 (that’s being bore/hone, hot tank and installing pistons and rods and specking bearings) But check your local machine shops to see what they say. And yes you should invest in headstuds.
