They will perform tests and then decide if replacement is necessary? So are the valves bad or not?

I wonder what sort of a test it will be.

Id imagine a normal compression and leak down test would tell you if the valves are bad but a full engine replacement as an option makes me think something is breaking and making its way into the cylinders so maybe a borescope to check for damage.
