  When you get your manual and the head off, with the cam and rockers off, check the side play on the valves to the guides. There should be specs for this in the book. You may want to remove the valves and have them at least reseated and lapped in the head. They are probably not bad if you still have good compression. Get some new valve seals as well, they are cheap. It depends how far you want to go with it like rebuild carbs, hoses, just how much you want to spend. Also, when you get this thing apart, it's not a bad idea to get a Honda and Clymer manual. I've found most of these manuals leave something out that the other one will have. I've got several manuals for my bikes and glad I did.
