The valve looks like many I've seen since lead was phased out of fuel.
If the motor still has compression within the limits in the manual, I'd keep riding it.Comment

Thanks for the varied responses! Since I'm more of a paint/fabricator than mechanic I will go for the just ride it and if it turns into an unrideable mess then I will open engine up.Comment
