I know Jake suggests tossing these, but unfortunantly Im rebuilding a set of heads. Id like to keep them stock, but Im more concerned about longevity.
Is there anything that can be done to improve thier function? Cryo? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

I don't know what the exhaust temps are but the exhaust sound is different. Blair and I noticed it as soon as we started the bugger up. I think I would rather have the heat go out the tailpipe than into the valve then head. I thought the sodium was used to transfer the heat outta the valve head into the stem where it could transfer to the valve guides better.
