Wrong topic maybe? Nothing in those pictures has failed...

Yes, a few things, generally i believe you can actually recess the valve seats further into the head and re-machine to suit. There are complications wit doing so but its cheaper than a new head which is of course, currently priceless due to being made out of unobtainium. Karl Norris used to be the man for this job, not sure if he still gets involved though.
