Identifying sodium filled valves?

[Joseph Rae]

I know that the MC does have them, I requested them back from the
machinist when I dropped my head off last Friday. I figure we can have
some fun disposing of them :)

Nope.  I'm pretty sure the MC did.  I believe, but i'm not certain, that
all Audi turbos have sodium-filled valves, and none of the NA engines
do.

In fact, I know the MC did.  The 5k Bently tells you how to dispose of
them properly(it's not exactly a chuck-in-the-can item, given sodium's
ah, volitile, nature.  Your garbage man might be one mighty big surprise
if his compactor cracked open one of those puppies.)
