Measure the diameter, weight, length, and lock groove distance. Start calling around and find the exact or closest thing available.

After market valves usually have a part number just above the lock groove.

whats the face look like? dose it have a "center"


And is the profile of the face centric, The stocks have a outer ring thats not. I can't think of a aftermarkets that isn't. But maybe some cheap, welded head would be.

They both look the same on the face... maybe a stock valve trays been cut to flow more?

That looks like a stock valve to me, but I'm not exactly an expert.

Those are just the angles that are cut into the valve to mirror the valve job.
