Valve spring problems, or stem seals? There's a surprising amount of carbon in the cylinders.
Time to get out the die grinder and clean up the ports, narrow the faces on the valves, and do a nice 5 or 7 angle seat cut...

Cool pics... Why is the engine apart? Will this affect your warranty at all? or rather extend it a bit?

Why would you freak out? It's getting fixed.
There's nothing magical about the factory's assembly, and when done correctly, a rebuild can be quite a bit better than factory.
