[DeTomaso] Sodium valves

I have  never seen a safety issue in their use by properly educated machinists , engine builders , or home mechanics .I have seen 911 valves broken and yes the sodium metal inside is active  but  knowing that the engine has sodium valves is the first line in not doing something stupid. I have not seen any Corvair turbo engine with an exhaust valve  actually fully broken off at the stem weld. I have seen dropped  seats and the valves beat to shit  but the exhaust valves always seemed to be just be bent to hell , have seen lots of intake stems separated from the valve tulip , and lots of  normal steel and stainless valves in the exhaust side with the valve separated from the stem , in fiends cars , but never have seen a sodium filled in a GM  application  be completely separated , Maybe i have been lucky and shut down before the whole basket went bang, or because my experience has been with aluminum heads the valve tends to embed itself in the head and damage the piston ,The times i have had any valve issues were  due to an overrev event that floated the valves , this usually results in a bent but not fully dropped valve . Only have had retainer failures once in any engine i have built that have resulted in a dopped valve. jg

  I'm fascinated by sodium cooled valves, but I think titanium is a more
  popular option in this crowd.  There were some made available for
  racing and while they do not have a cooling technology they do endure
  more heat than a stainless valve.  They come up on ebay or a swap meet
  occasionally.
  I just have a street engine so I'm not concerned... just fascinated.

    Compression
        is 9.2:1 and maximum boost is 1.4 bar (20.0 psi), delivering 260

        (190 kW) at 5300 rpm and 260 lbA.ft (350 NA.m) of torque from
    2500 to
        5250 rpm. Engine redline is at 6300 rpm and premium fuel is
        recommended. The sodium filled exhaust valves were based on
    technology
        developed for the Corvette V8 powertrains. The sodium fuses and
    becomes
        a liquid at idle, which improves conductivity and draws heat away
    from
        the valve face and valve guide towards the stem to be cooled by

        performance bogey. Unfortunately, the Boss engine incorporated
    some
        expensive manufacturing tricks that Ford couldnat possibly use in
    a
        mass-produced engine, like hollow intake valves, sodium-filled
    exhaust
        valves, and CNC-ported heads, so it had to look elsewhere to
    approach
        Boss power levels.

        Dan Gurney and Jimmy Clark. The high performance 260 used in the
    Cobra
        was the starting point, dubbed the Stage 0 engine. Stage 1
    involved
        revised and enlarged intake and exhaust ports, and 12.5:1
    compression
        through the used of forged pop-up pistons. The special intake
    manifold
        carried four 46mm downdraft Webers carburetors. Larger valves,
        hollow-stemmed intakes and sodium-filled exhausts were fitted to
    the
        heads, along with high silicon content aluminum alloy retainers.

        sodium filled exhaust valves were also used on the corvair turbo
        charged engines  from 62 on to the end of the 68
        all 911 engines up to the 964  have sodium filled exhaust valves
    .
        lt-4 zo6 had sodium filled exhaust valves . all turbo and
    supercharged
        chevrolet engines have had sodium filled exhaust valves from the
        factory. ls7 included
        On the exhaust side, sodium-filling is the best way to increase
    the
        head cooling capacity of a hollow exhaust valve. If stock
    diameter
        steel valves are required, but a valve weight is not mandated,
    going to
        a hollow intake and sodium-filled exhaust is certainly a major
        advantage. better cooling of the valve and the guide as well as
    lighter
        than other types except titanium .
        Stainless steel (for street performance) has much better
    durability
        characteristics than titanium, and the street guys wonat usually
    see
        the real benefits of titanium. In racing, use titanium when you
    want to
        lose weighta|and spend a lot of money. sodium filled exhaust
    valves
        were an off shoot spin off from the aircraft engines way back .

          Yes, that sounds reasonable. I think it was for use in aircraft
        engines
          with some form of supercharging that they were originally
    developed.
        I
          just didn't realize they were back in style!

              Thanks Charles
            I wouldn't be surprised if sodium valves were used in Nascar
    hemis
        or
            Boss 429 engines too. I just don't recall any production
    engines
        with

            Ken Green says the LS7 uses them !
            I'm surprised at that. I wonder if that's in the GM engine as

            Hi Barry your info was almost rite on.  Ford did offer the
    sodium
            valves on the 427 engines for thr Cobras used in their race
    program
            There was a issue with the nos valves as the sodium corroded
    the
          inside
            causing them to come apart as they were drilled to make the
    stem
            hollow..the story I heard was the sodium was to provide
    cooling of
          the
            valve stem in endurance racing...we used some
            In drag race engines as they were somewhat lighter..a much
    better
        set
            up would be manley stainless valves..?..Pete Coleman

              Hi Robert
              Sodium valves were a feature in the 375HP version of
    Corvette 327
              engines
              with fuel injection. I don't recall sodium valves being
    used in
              other US
              standard production engines. Maybe some other exotic
    engines did.
              Later
              valve steels and technology made the risks and expense of
    sodium
              filled
              valves obsolete in HP engines. The idea originated in
    aircraft
              piston
              engines back around WWII, I think, and was related to
    trying to
          cool
              exhaust
              valves under high stress loads.
              The 1971 Cleveland 351-4V engines in Panteras (and
    Mustangs,etc.)
              had high
              compression closed chamber (quench) heads, single point
              distributors, small
              square bore 600cfm 4300A carbs and 2 bolt mains. The Boss
    351 was
              the only
              351C to get 4 bolt mains, dual point distributor and the
    large
              spreadbore
              Motorcraft 4300D carb in 1971 along with high compression
    CC
        heads.
              Some people have said that some 1971 4V engines found there
    way
          into
              very
              early 72 Panteras, but probably only in early January 72
    cars.
        The
              1972
              Cobra-jet engines would have entered production in Sept of
    1971
        and
              by the
              end of 1971, DeTomaso was likely to have used their engine
    stock
        on
              hand and
              have received new Cobra-jet engines from Ford. I understand
          DeTomaso
              was
              generally receiving engines only about a month or so after
    they
          were
              produced in the US plant.
              1972 Panteras came with Cobra-jet engines that had open
    chamber
              (lower
              compression) 4V heads but with 4 bolt mains, dual point
        distributor
              and
              large spreadbore Motorcraft 4300D carb. This was the
    strange
        result
              of Ford
              trying to recover some of the power lost to stricter
    emission
              standards for
              1972. The compression had to come down for unleaded gas and
    Ford
              upped the
              RPM to try to get some oomph back. They retarded the cam
    timing
        and
              hopped
              it up a bit to get the power at higher revs, thus the dual
    point
          and
              4 bolt
              mains.
              1973 and 74 went downhill from there, with increasing
    emissions
        and
              lower
              compression.
              So...the best heads were in 1971, but everything else was
    better
        in
              1972.
              Unless you have a 1971 BOSS 351 engine, which never came in
    a
              production US
              market Pantera. Pity that.

   I have  never seen a safety issue in their use by properly educated
   machinists , engine builders , or home mechanics .
   I have seen 911 valves broken and yes the sodium metal inside is
   active  but  knowing that the engine has sodium valves is the first
   line in not doing something stupid.
   I have not seen any Corvair turbo engine with an exhaust valve
   actually fully broken off at the stem weld. I have seen dropped  seats
   and the valves beat to shit  but the exhaust valves always seemed to be
   just
   be bent to hell , have seen lots of intake stems separated from the
   valve tulip , and lots of  normal steel and stainless valves in the
   exhaust side with the valve separated from the stem , in fiends cars
   , but never have seen a sodium filled
   in a GM  application  be completely separated , Maybe i have been lucky
   and shut down before the whole basket went bang, or because my
   experience has been with aluminum heads the valve tends to embed itself
   in the head and damage the piston ,
   The times i have had any valve issues were  due to an overrev event
   that floated the valves , this usually results in a bent but not fully
   dropped valve . Only have had retainer failures once in any engine i
   have built that have resulted in a dopped valve.

     I'm fascinated by sodium cooled valves, but I think titanium is a
   more
     popular option in this crowd.  There were some made available for
     racing and while they do not have a cooling technology they do endure
     more heat than a stainless valve.  They come up on ebay or a swap
   meet
     occasionally.
     I just have a street engine so I'm not concerned... just fascinated.

           with the LK9 such as: piston cooling jets, oil cooler, pistons,
           connecting rods, crankshaft, oil pan, sodium-filled exhaust

   Solstice
       GXP
           and [11]Saturn Sky Red Line. In these applications, the engine
   is
           mounted longitudinally. Displacement is 2.0 La1,998 cc (121.9

           in)awith a square 86 millimetres (3.4 in) bore and stroke.
       Compression
           is 9.2:1 and maximum boost is 1.4 bar (20.0 psi), delivering
   260
       hp
           (190 kW) at 5300 rpm and 260 lbA.ft (350 NA.m) of torque from
       2500 to
           5250 rpm. Engine redline is at 6300 rpm and premium fuel is
           recommended. The sodium filled exhaust valves were based on
       technology
           developed for the Corvette V8 powertrains. The sodium fuses and
       becomes
           a liquid at idle, which improves conductivity and draws heat
   away
       from
           the valve face and valve guide towards the stem to be cooled by

           all 911 engines up to the 964  have sodium filled exhaust

           On the exhaust side, sodium-filling is the best way to increase
       the
           head cooling capacity of a hollow exhaust valve. If stock
       diameter
           steel valves are required, but a valve weight is not mandated,
       going to
           a hollow intake and sodium-filled exhaust is certainly a major
           advantage. better cooling of the valve and the guide as well as
       lighter
           than other types except titanium .
           Stainless steel (for street performance) has much better
       durability
           characteristics than titanium, and the street guys wonat
   usually
       see
           the real benefits of titanium. In racing, use titanium when you
       want to
           lose weighta|and spend a lot of money. sodium filled exhaust
       valves
           were an off shoot spin off from the aircraft engines way back .

             Yes, that sounds reasonable. I think it was for use in

           engines
             with some form of supercharging that they were originally

             What I read said the stock LS7 has sodium filled exhaust
       valves.
             I would guess that a turbo charged production engine might
   have

               I wouldn't be surprised if sodium valves were used in
   Nascar
       hemis
           or
               Boss 429 engines too. I just don't recall any production

               Ken Green says the LS7 uses them !
               I'm surprised at that. I wonder if that's in the GM engine
   as
             produced
               or an aftermarket thing?
               Ken, do you know?

               Hi Barry your info was almost rite on.  Ford did offer the
       sodium
               valves on the 427 engines for thr Cobras used in their race
       program
               There was a issue with the nos valves as the sodium
   corroded
       the
             inside
               causing them to come apart as they were drilled to make the
       stem
               hollow..the story I heard was the sodium was to provide
       cooling of
             the
               valve stem in endurance racing...we used some
               In drag race engines as they were somewhat lighter..a much
       better
           set
               up would be manley stainless valves..?..Pete Coleman

                 Hi Robert
                 Sodium valves were a feature in the 375HP version of
       Corvette 327
                 engines
                 with fuel injection. I don't recall sodium valves being
       used in
                 other US
                 standard production engines. Maybe some other exotic
       engines did.
                 Later
                 valve steels and technology made the risks and expense of
       sodium
                 filled
                 valves obsolete in HP engines. The idea originated in
       aircraft
                 piston
                 engines back around WWII, I think, and was related to
       trying to
             cool
                 exhaust
                 valves under high stress loads.
                 The 1971 Cleveland 351-4V engines in Panteras (and
       Mustangs,etc.)
                 had high
                 compression closed chamber (quench) heads, single point
                 distributors, small
                 square bore 600cfm 4300A carbs and 2 bolt mains. The Boss
       351 was
                 the only
                 351C to get 4 bolt mains, dual point distributor and the
       large
                 spreadbore
                 Motorcraft 4300D carb in 1971 along with high compression
       CC
           heads.
                 Some people have said that some 1971 4V engines found
   there
       way
             into
                 very
                 early 72 Panteras, but probably only in early January 72
       cars.
           The
                 1972
                 Cobra-jet engines would have entered production in Sept
   of
       1971
           and
                 by the
                 end of 1971, DeTomaso was likely to have used their
   engine
       stock
           on
                 hand and
                 have received new Cobra-jet engines from Ford. I
   understand
             DeTomaso
                 was
                 generally receiving engines only about a month or so
   after
       they
             were
                 produced in the US plant.
                 1972 Panteras came with Cobra-jet engines that had open
       chamber
                 (lower
                 compression) 4V heads but with 4 bolt mains, dual point
           distributor
                 and
                 large spreadbore Motorcraft 4300D carb. This was the
       strange
           result
                 of Ford
                 trying to recover some of the power lost to stricter
       emission
                 standards for
                 1972. The compression had to come down for unleaded gas
   and
       Ford
                 upped the
                 RPM to try to get some oomph back. They retarded the cam
       timing
           and
                 hopped
                 it up a bit to get the power at higher revs, thus the
   dual
       point
             and
                 4 bolt
                 mains.
                 1973 and 74 went downhill from there, with increasing
       emissions
           and
                 lower
                 compression.
                 So...the best heads were in 1971, but everything else was
       better
           in
                 1972.
                 Unless you have a 1971 BOSS 351 engine, which never came
   in
       a
                 production US
                 market Pantera. Pity that.
