Their answer after a
lot of research was to make the exhaust valve stem hollow and fill it
with Sodium with significantly good results.

Sodium valves were used in a lot of internal combustion engines, not just Nortons! The idea is that the liquid sodium inside the valve stem would actually flow, thus transferring heat by convection away from the valve face and through the valve guide to the cylinder head. In the case of coils, there's no obvious analogue for the cylinder head to dissipate heat.
