Valve stems?

If this were 1913, sure, but in 2013, we just buy new valves.

Are you asking about the valves themselves, or the valve GUIDES in the head?

You mean when a portion of the guide that protrudes above the level of the head is cracked?

Sure. Old guides / block material is reamed out, new guides are installed.

MAW get a complete valve job while you're at it.
