Worn exhaust valves with sodium filling must not be disposed of 
until they have been treated as follows: The valves must be sawn into two sections with a metal saw at a 
point between the center of the shaft and the valve head. They 
must not come into contact with water while this is done. Then 
throw the valves into a bucket of water (not more than ten at a 
time). Step back immediately because a chemical reaction occurs 
when the sodium filling burns. After this treatment the valves can be disposed of in the normal 
way.

Calculating maximum permissible reworking 
dimension  
     
-  Insert valve and press firmly against valve 
seat. 
     
Note:  
     If the valve is to be replaced as part of a repair, 
use a new valve for the calculation. 
    
-  Measure distance -a- between valve stem end (upper edge) and upper 
cylinder head surface -1- with a depth gauge. 
-  Calculate max. permissible reworking dimension from measured 
distance and minimum dimension.
