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.
