Default anyone overheated stock valves?

Has anyone gotten any of their valves so hot that their either burned or bent?

I don't recall anyone saying such. I wonder what the limit of the stock valves are? It is the exhaust valve that I am most concerned with.

any input would be appreciated.

Just for some bling factor and light weight, I will be testing out a set of titanium exhaust valves. I figure the extra wieght savings will allow me to have seconds at tomorrow's thanksgiving feast.
