You could 'drive' it as a 4 cyl, just unplug the fuel injector. It won't have very good pickup, especially up hills and from stop signs.

The only way to verify the valve problem is to remove the head. Shop around for machine shops that can repair valves and see what their bids are, none will be cheap. When a valve fails, it will have an effect on the valve seat also which requires more than just dropping in a new valve or two.

Who knows, it could even be a simple valve spring.
