Check the intake manifold and the other bank of cylinders for the missing valve head. Them damn things have a habilt of traveling around in areas you wouldn't believe.

Tried to figure that out. Internet search turned up nothing. C - BH 1201 on the stem. My memory is not real good and I do not have it with me so I think that was the number.

I don't think so. I have had a couple people look it over and said it is repairable. The area between the chambers is smashed the head gasket broke there. So they think the head lifted and slammed back down.

Ferrea lists a PN 1201 for their 1.88 exhaust valves - not sure if they are inconel or superalloy, but $33 price indicates that they may be.

FWIW, REV lists a CL 1201 as a Duramax inconel exhaust valve. Not sure if they interchange.

Yes it's refferred to as "dry to the tip", not the same as a traditional wet exhaust.

The ferrea super alloy is a great valve
