If my memory is correct, years ago the V8 midget 
engine valves would sometimes be brazed than ground 
for clearance.  The question really becomes, isn't it possible 
to add length to a valve stem by brazing?  I need to add 
about .250 to .275" to some OLD valves stems.  Does 
this sound within reason?
Super thanks for your feedback.
