Crown acura is a bunch of fucks, fuck them & there over priced bull shit.

You need to replace the valve with a OEM valve & I highly recommend you have a valve job done by clearwater cylinder head to ensure your valves match your valve ports properly.

used stock valves work great, no need to spend extra $$$ on new ones. just lap them in yourself its really easy. just make sure you have them seated correctly by putting the head upsidedown and fill the combustion chambers with water(with sparkplugs installed). when seated correctly no water sould leak past the valves.
