Check the valve clearances. You may have valves not seating properly. If there is damage, you may be able to get away with bolting on a good used head.

You have been given some advise. Pull the cover off the head, grab a set of feeler gauges and check your valve clearances. Do this with the engine COLD. Let us know the results.
