Re: sodium-filled exhaust valves?(OT) safety

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

Actually I think this is described in the bently.  I
think bently's words were like throw them in a bucket
of waterand stand back.  I am not sure the exact
wording but look in the bently, its there.  I think it
was in the A2 golf/jetta one.

And I am also restraining from trying this out.  I
just wanna see what happens? <stupid kid runs out of
garage with 5 gallon bucket on fire>
