Well if you don't want to spend a bunch of money - which is not necessarily. (I agree with your buddy)
Clean the carbon off combustion chamber of heads (scotch bright soft wire brush etc.) - with the head right side up, spray some WD40 in the ports (intake and exhaust) to slightly puddle on top of the valves - let sit for 15min (do not turn over) then raise it up and look under it at the combustion side (with out turning it over - so the WD doesn't spill out)
If the valves are not leaking through then leave alone.
Run a hone through the cylinders to scuff up the walls (so new rings will seat correctly) clean any carbon from piston ring grooves and install new rings.
Then ride it.
Save the money toward your higher taxes in 2013!
Or invest in ammo as it's values are rising faster than gold these days
