And for what reason/s. I don't know what Permatex LMF is, but if it's the liquid metal stuff sold for restoring threads I'd leave it right where it is! :) Stellite is the traditional way of reclaiming valve faces, restoring the margins, etc. It's been around since the 1930's and was widely used until at least the late '70's, when valve work fell into general decline. It's straight forward enough for a keen DIYer to use. Traditional method of application is an oxy torch and you need the appropriate stone to grind it. If you've ever seen a white valve refacer stone laying about, that's what it's for (at one time almost every valve refacer would've had one as an accessory). https://www.mahle.com/C12572E600480825/CurrentBaseLink/N27F4G4N691STULEN Scroll down through the pictures to see how a stellite faced valve should look after welding and before grinding. It's a brand new part in this example. The thin part of the stem behind the head could probably be restored by powder spraying using the simple oxy torch attachment available for the purpose. (These days you can probably get stellite in powder form as well, though I'd still prefer to use a stick.) OTOH, for the rough examples you've got to work with I'd probably just go through the bucket full of old valves until I found something that could be remachined to fit. Really depends on how many of the original parts you want to retain. -- John H

Hmmm... You might be waiting a while for an answer to that, as right now I expect he's googling so hard to come up with something smoke is coming out the back of his computer :) -- Regards, Noddy.
