What valves should I get?
Basically the title. Ive never done something like this, but I think one of my exhaust valves has cracked and is causing my car to idle super rough. I want to replace them, but have no idea what to get? Any pointers or tips also welcome!

Verify that the valve is allowed to close fully and not hanging up.
Did someone just set the valve-lash?
With the valve cover off, jog the key until the adjacent valve is opening. Now grab the suspect rocker.
Should have "some" play in it.
