Information on disposal.
Exhaust valves are filled with sodium to improve heat deflection.
Sodium filled valves may not be disposed of as normal parts
without special treatment. The reason for this is that sodium could
explode when melted. It is also not permitted to use them as
"special tools" - such as, for example, impact mandrels - as is
common in some workshops.
