No reason to rebuild the engine if it is only a bad valve....just rebuild the head, faster cheaper.
BUT poor compression on one cyl is not always a bad valve/valve seat, could be a worn cam, bent pushrod (unlikely) bad piston etc....a full rebuild will catch all of that of course, but if you can work out exactly what is wrong a little head/valve job etc will get you back on the road faster, with less disassembly and less $$$. Good luck.
