With a burnt valve(s) I'd think you'd be able to feel some other symptoms,
like severe chugging at transition from coasting to light acceleration.
I'd also expect a check engine on the MIL if they were that bad. Have you
tried turning the engine over by hand, as one does during a valve check,
with a wrench on the crank pulley bolt to see if you hear the valves
hissing and low resistance on the compression strokes?... crude form of
compression check which you might also want to do more thoroughly.
