[V8] Sodium-filled Exhaust Valves

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ken,

Check with Javad at 034motorsport.com I believe they don't use sodium- 
filled exhaust valves but have a good alternative if you want bigger  
valves -- requires cutting seats @ $135 ea. set x 4 (of course, if  
you only need a few, maybe you should get them from the stealership,  
after all).

Best,

Ingo
