there are no aftermarket valves available (unless you want to pay BIG BUCKS to have them custom made) honda still has them in stock, part number : 14711-KY2-010 price should be in the $15 - $20 range each.

'be interesting to hear why the mechanic thinks the valves have gone, i thought it was usualy the exhaust valves that go first You sure that you trust him/her/it?
