I have a bent exhaust valve # EL VW 021 109 612.(number on the valve stem)
I see on Pelican and Mark's Air Cooled I can get a 022-109-612D valve as a replacement in my 72 1.7.
Is there a difference?

Yep, thats a 1.7 bus part # I have a listing for a 021 109 612D. The price is a little bit better on that one, I'll PM you in the AM with the cost and availablity.

According to PP sales site, only the 2.0 L valves are sodium filled. Anyone know more about this?http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/9144/POR_9144_cylhds_pg1.htm

Yes, mostly. There were evidently 1.8 exhaust valves that were also sodium-filled, but they were pretty rare and I'm told were sold as upgraded replacement parts only.

But the 2.0 914s were the only 914s that had sodium-filled exhaust valves from the factory, every car.

Well I don't know if they are sodium filled but they do have a 9mm valve stem. I thought all the 9mm stem valves were sodium filled.

022 109 612D has 9mm stems, got one in my hand right now. Doug (Tracks914) will be happy.

Does anyone know of a good site with serial and casting numbers for reference?
