It was an intake valve, so the problem has been fixed ?

I don't think you'll find a hone that small, but, you can find a reamer.

I've loosened them up using grinding compound.

Most of the time the valve is fitted OK, maybe a tad tight, and will start hanging up because of 'crud' [ technical term] usually from sitting around not being used.
