Default i need opinions ASAP

Ok here is what happened.
I took my head off to do the head gasket and do the MPFI swap while i was at it. Well upon cleaning the bottom of the head i noticed a couple things. First there is MAJOR carbon build up on the valves, some is HEAVY yellow color. what is the yellow from? and im not talking slight build up im talking about 1/4 inch. also one of my valve has a nice size chunk missing from it......now here is my question...
should i

A:get new valves and leave the stock head
B:get a d16z6 head and convert
or
C:Junk the car and get a crx/civic hatchie.......(also im going to look at a 93 cbr 1000 tomorrow incase that influences your opinion a little i may end up buying that_

I would consider talking to a local machinist and showing him whats going on. Just to see what he would say, maybe he has some good ideas. Good Luck

I think that is a good idea. In the least he can clean up what crap you do have on there. how many miles does your engine have? Could it just be normal? Although... yellow build up doesn't sound very good to me..
