I suggest doing some troubleshooting before deciding your problem has anything to do with the valve train. There is a long list of other potential causes with a higher % of likelihood.
My guess is that if the vehicle was worth $3,500 that would have been the price. I'm surprised the engine even ran for $150. I'd say your cost of ownership for 1,400 miles is very low and you can sell some parts and then scrap it for a tidy profit to buy a 528.
