Source for Stainless steel valves for MC head?

[Joseph Rae]

In the NW there have been 3 MC engines that have died due to exhaust
valve failure. Apparently what has happened is that the weld where they
cap off the sodium fails, and it bends the valve causing severe engine
damage.

A couple of the guys here have had their sodium filled valves replaced
with hardened S.S 

Since my head is being rebuilt I thought that I would do the same,
however I am having a hard time sourcing hardened SS valves.

Joe,

Why don't you just buy OEM valves for you MC head??
Import Parts in ID sold me exhaust valves @ $25/each
and oversize intakes for $15/each.
