Default Intake valves

After having my engine opened up for blue smoke it shows that my intake valves are F'd.

I'm in need of Intake Valves to go to my V1 heads with hydraulics
Are these hard to get or am I not looking in the right places. Or where can I get these from?

Thanks a lot guys. Please do try and help me as I'm quiet shafted right now

Engine mods are 2.1 stroker built 3500 miles ago! Brand new SC36 turbo by Scooby Clinic last week!

I was told that hydraulic valve train isn't really the best option on a performance build, they don't like to rev and have a habit of sticking on start up.
I bought a set of 22B heads (allegedly) I think they're the same as STI versions, shim and bucket, more aggressive cam profile and sodium filled valves. They were then overhauled by Finch motorsport.

I've seen sti heads for sale for around the £250 mark, quite a cheap and useful mod imo. I know someone who has a good serviceable pair for £250.

If you still want to use your hydraulic heads I have a pair that have been stripped, let me know if want them.

Sounds like the mapping was suspect? Are the valves burnt, or how have they been fekked?

Car wasn't mapped yet.
Intake valves had excessive play in them and made the stem seals pop off and jut burn oil.

hmmmmmmmm.

Good build then? And why would you run that lot without a map?

Scoob dealers will sell valves, ring and ask how much to send you four,pay by card?

Knackered / burnt intake valves would not cause blue smoke unless it was stem wear that meant they were loose in the guides causing stem seal failure.

I was running it and getting ready for my map. But now I'm stuck with this bullcrap.

I've been told it will cheaper for me to buy heads rather then buy valves and other things which I'll also need

I think you need to seek advice from a professional.
