Stainless steel valves
On assembled heads can you take a magnet to determine wether your valves are SS. On my heads the magnet sticks to intake valves but not exhaust.

The higher the nickel content in the stainless steel, the less the magnetic it is.

Another consideration when valve shopping is if the valve has a good chrome plating to it or if it has just a ware prone flash chrome plating.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
