WARNING! 
     
Sodium-filled exhaust valves must not be 
scrapped without first being properly treated.
     The valves must be cut open using a 
hacksaw, by hand, between the valve head 
and the middle of the stem. 
     The valves must not come into any contact 
with water while being cut. 
     After cutting open the valves, throw not more 
than 10 at a time into a bucket of water and 
step back. A sudden chemical reaction will 
occur during which the sodium filling is 
consumed. 
     Valves that have been treated in this way can 
be disposed of as normal waste.
