My '67 WM300 251 engine is at Jasper ready for a full remanufactture. It came in to them with stellite valve stems. Should I go with replacing these with original sodium filled, or replace with stellite. Pros/cons? Your suggestions and thoughts welcomed. They want to know asap, and I will have to provide the sodiums if I go that route. Thanks.

The stellite material resists wear, the sodium filled valve conducts heat away from the head of the valve much better. It is a bit of an apples/oranges thing.
Given the choice, I believe I would go with the stellite.Power Wagon Advertiser monthly magazine, editor & publisher.
Why is it that the inside of old truck cabs smell so good? -

Good point. Jasper is fitting hardened valve inserts so it makes sense to match the hardness. Thanks.Comment
