Try this:
1.) Leak down test or compression test
2.) Check the PCV system
3.) Check the timing, carb, and vacuum advance.
Then report back
PS- new headers are not that expensive for a gen I.
Don't jump the gun. Do some testing first.
Actually, if you are light on time call one of the sponsors to the right, like JS or SSP. This stuff should be very easy for them. Paying a trained eye/ear can be a lot cheaper than a rebuild you don't need.
