i recently took my van in for a dtc p0306, plugs, wires, cap, rotor were changed prior to taking to shop. The mechanic said my injector was bad, replaced the injector and fuel pressure regulator. then he told me that I needed a valve job because they were shot! how can I make sure the valves are done??? please help!

Whats the reason doing a valve job? Why does he say they are bad?
Do a compression test to evaluate the condition.

he did a compression test, and said it was good but he hears a noise, the van makes a noise and it idles rough and only does at operating temperature and at slow idle speed.

I had a tick but it was a lifter. I only heard it when going through the drive through and heard it echoing off the building.
