Indeed, two-piece stainless steel valves have been offered for sale for a few years, 'cause "stainless" is the latest go-fast buzz-word. Of course, the definition of 'stainless' is a steel with a minimum of chrome or nickel in it; ss-302 has so little, it rusts! Some far-east metal- concoctions have even less. If the valve offered is less than about $12 each, it's very likely made in India or China of questionable materials, and if it does not specifically say "billet". it's a welded two-piece valve of no more worth than a stocker. There are no bargain speed parts! Finally, a good ss valve will require single-groove split-locks- hopefully of forged steel not the stock multi-groove stamped steel ones, and the valve itself will have only a single groove with a hardened tip.
