I would pop the valve cover first just to see what is. You should be
able to see at that point exactly what's up, unless the valve face is
burned or you have damaged rings. I'd shop around for a short block
you might get a better deal than the $400. Pulling heads is not a big
deal unless you have to go borrow tools then you probably have never
done it before. May just have to get a payday loan to get this thing
fixed.
You don't say how many miles on it. If it's fairly low mileage valve
job would be worth it. If high mileage, valve job & restoration of
proper combustion pressure might cause trouble for the bottom end.
