Worn sodium-cooled exhaust valves must be treated as follows before disposal:
Saw the valves into two sections with a metal saw at a point between the centre of the valve stem and the valve head. The valves must not come into contact with water when this is done. Then throw the valves into a bucket of water (not more than ten at a time) and step back, because a sudden chemical reaction occurs when the sodium filling burns. After this treatment the valves can be disposed of in the normal way.
