Ok.....The solution is.... install hardened valve seats and if you want to go the whole hog...buy a set of stainless valves. In an automotive engine costs about a grand plus labour of remove and replace cylinder head(s).
I can't see why it would be more complicated in an aero engine not counting CASA's involvement.
