Is it possible to soidum fill a one piece valve, or is it only possible with the friction welded sort?

Im after some valves (not for a YB) that need to handle 9000rpm without the heads falling off, but as its a turbo motor i would like sodium filled if possible.

Anyone got any gen on it?????

Why do you need sodium cooled one piece?

Needs to be one piece for 9000rpm, the sodium is just a "nice to have"

wondered if it was possible or not though?

I don't think so, but i'd speak to Karl if you can. I was worried about dropping valves, the exhasust i have a ceramic coated.

Yeah Karl is someone i was hoping would reply to be honest.

His knowledge of engines in this respect is deeper than anyone else on here i suspect.

What do the 600bhp brigade use on YB's though, someone must know that?
cause if it works for them it should work for me with an LET engine too.
