I don't know about buying new heads, but the machine shop can reset valve clearances when they rebuild our 3.0 heads. My machinist told me that he just butt-ground the ends of the valve stems to set clearances. I'm still gonna check them after I install the heads, and after a few thousand miles of driving. If you're good with a feeler guage and micrometer, you can reshim them yourself.
