Personally, I wouldn't do anything to the cylinder head except the lightest port cleanup, the factory valves, springs and retainers are plenty good for what you're talking about. That's unnecessary spending doing anything to such a good factory head.
Thought of doing a 2.4 but heard stories on how it went really bad. For a seasoned vet such as yourself yeah it could work out.
