natrium is sodium like salt.
"natrium-filled exhaust valves reduce valvetrain inertia and help engine response. The natrium exhaust valves also help lower the temperature of the bell end of the exhaust valve by retaining less heat."

EDIT: Ok, thinking about it more, I'm guessing natrium is just another name for sodium, hence sodium = Na on the periodic table.

Something similar happened to my plugs. I didn't check compression before tearing apart my block because I knew what happened. Did it sound like someone threw a bunch of change in an empty clothes dryer? What an awful sound. 
I'm amazed he ran on 3 cylinders, and I'd also be amazed if he didn't destroy his valves and turbine with fragments of piston.
