ITM Intake Valves any good? Source for OEM Valves?

[Spoolin4Ever]

Alright this head had been rebuilt and then there was an oil leak in my bottom end that got on the timing belt, bent intake valves only is what it looks like (haven't pulled the valves yet).

So I am wondering where I can get an OEM quality valve at a low price, just wanting to sap the valves (and lap them if needed).

I see the ITM valves are only about $6 or $20 each for 1mm oversize (whic I do not want the oversize). I also see the sealed power valves are chrome coated stem and are $9.

Are the ITM alright? Anyone know where to get oem valves for not too much?

Get stainless valves, and new guides. It's usually at least a few hundred bucks in machine work minimum to fix a bent valve head.

I heard that it depends on which valves; that the intake only often you can just replace the valves, but with exhaust valves those you have to replace the guides also.

I put 2 itm valves in my 3rz 4 runner cause I was too lazy to set the valve clearance and burned out 2 on the exhaust side. I've got 30k on them so far and they're still good.

99% of the time you bend a valve you crack the guide.

Engnblder on eBay. They are oem don't let the fact that he's an eBay seller throw you off. Valves and guides from him are cheap as hell too.

I forgot to add he also carries +1 and +2 mm valves

I bought the engbldr stainless valves and guides, they seem good and the engine guy that used to be here loved the quality so i trust his views
