The definitive way to determine if there is a burned valve or blown head gasket is to run a compression test.
Mark the spark plug wires; either a piece of tape with the cylinder number or you can buy wire marker labels... your choice.
Remove the spark plugs.
Using a compression gauge, start at cylinder 1. Some gauges press into the sparkplug hole, some thread in, either way, make certain that the gauge is being used properly, then have an assistant engage the starter as though you are trying to start the engine. Make certain that the piston in question comes to the top of the compression cycle at least 3 times.
Write down the pressure that the gauge reports, then proceed to the next cylinder.
Perform the test for all 4 cylinders.
If any of the cylinders is incapable of producing pressure that is about the same as the other 3, you PROBABLY have a burned valve. If the pressure in 2 adjacent cylinders is low, you probably have a blown head gasket.
Either way, if any cylinder has low compression on the compression test, you will not be able to repair the engine without removing the head.
If the compression on all 4 cylinders is reasonably good (close to 90 PSI or more) you probably don't have a burned valve.
Good luck.

What is an erg valve?
Pretty sure you mean "E.G.R. Valve" and not ERG. E.G.R stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve. Instead of letting all of the gas out of the exhaust of the vehicle after the mixture is burnt in the compression cylinder, some of it is recirculated into the intake manifold. This is done because not all of the vaporized gas is burnt out of the mixture that goes into the compression cylinder. So this recycles some of the unburnt mixture, and reduces the amount of pollution emitted by your vehicle.

First you loosen 11 Bolts with a 10mm socket,after you take out the sparkplug boots,Gently pry up cover with a flat head screwdriver,your done!

How many spacecraft have landed on Saturn?
Strictly speaking, Saturn doesn't have a surface that can be landed on, so there have been no spacecraft landings on Saturn. Pioneer 11 and Voyagers 1 and 2 have done flybys of Saturn.

The transmission valve body is INSIDE the transmission and generally requires a complete rebuild. If the fluid is black and smells burned, your clutches have been slipping, in which case the transmission is pretty much done anyway so either replace or rebuild the transmission or get another car.
