$115.00 for one intake valve?

Can anyone assist with a source for new valves and guides for 2.0/4 heads? Is it possible new heads are the answer?

Thank you

Here's an option:

no way, they are very inexpensive these days, plenty of cheap but good quality on the shelf

Thank you, I was on their site, but was not using the "valvetrain" section. This does not come up under "cylinder head"

With the age of the newest head that came with the cars at least 45 years old owners are definitely facing a key decision on replacing with new. I am super glad they are available and when I need to do any substantial work on them in the future will likely just go with a new set.

NEVER re-use 50 yr old sodium filled exhaust valves, they're likely corroded and prone to failure. This is what happened when i was dis-assembling my heads, just rapped the valve stems lightly to insure thy weren't stuck. one stem popped out as the head are off !
I couldn't find a source for new sodium filled valves, so went with SS versions, cheap insurance.
