Cylinder 1 No Compression - Burned Exhaust Valves - How Much To Fix?

Hey guys,

Recently on a trip to Wisconsin, my car started sputtering really bad and ran like crap. I took it into a shop and they found theres no compression in cylinder 1. Also the spark plug grounding electrode was burned right off. They said it sounds like the exhaust valves are burned up, but can't be sure unless they tear the head off. And it would cost $1,000 for them to pull the head and replace it, plus how ever much to replace the valves.

I'm not too interested in paying that much to have them do that. Anyone have an estimate how much it would cost, and whats all involved doing it myself? Which brings me to my next question. Anyone in the cities have a flatbed I could borrow or rent for a weekend to tow it back?

Thanks for reading, and hopefully helping!

Joe
