Aftermarket valves for an N14

What is available for the N14 engine in the way of valves and guides for my '07 MCS?

Way Motor Works has aftermarket intake and exhaust valves. I'm not sure of the price difference between OEM and aftermarket valves though.

You guys shop with Way Motorworks? Their site certainly has a lot for our minis but I would like to hear about their reputability first hand from a customer. Their site isn't...polished, and looks low budget, just want to make sure I'm spending money in the right place.

Also... Would getting new valves be a better solution to the carbon build up problem we face, as opposed to just cleaning and maintenance?

They know what's gone on very well. Very good shop. Very reputable. They've never lead me down the wrong road. All there parts are what you need. I thought there website was perfect. Select your car on the left. Then part of the car you are working. Presto, there's all the stuff for that section.

Other valve options including inconel for the exhaust.

Diito on what was said of WMW. Maybe the website isn't the snazziest in the world but everything is there, and their service is second to none! You'll also be hard pressed to find someone more professional and knowledgeable than Waylen.

I have purchased many things from Way Motor Works, their web sight might not look polished but they sell just about everything for Mini's and are very knowledgeable when it comes to advice about the products they sell.

New valves aren't going solve the problem, they will get just as dirty as the valves you running now. Just get them walnut blasted every 30-40k miles and you will be fine.
