It could be the valve seals also, I thought that was a pretty common thing for NPI's. What year is your car?

well if you plan on keeping it for a while might as well pull it out and do the entire long block over. Unless it is just the heads. i would pull it out and do the heads and rotating assembly, def. stroke it

head gaskets
jackingbolts
head bolts
main bearings
