We have quite a few "Dummy" heads that we use for flycutting. Much like any tool rental , we charge said amount, and refund ~ 75% of it back when you return the tool. I cant tell you how many people refuse to return it!
At anyrate, Give us a call- 972-429-1963. Mike, Anthony, or Bobby will get you squared away with what you need

How did this work? I was going to do this but was having trouble finding the proper sized valve. My current plan is welding a piece of 1/4 inch steel plate to the end of a 6" 5/16 bolt, and turning it down to 2.125 on the lathe, then milling a rasp or coarse file like pattern on the cutter head. Ive got a small collar clamp to use as a stop against the valve guide to set cutting depth. Ill post pics when its finished.

It worked fine. (although I don't recall what the oversize intake valve was from.) For the exhaust in fact, much like you plan, I ended up brazing a small lathe tool bit across the head of the valve, set for the right diameter. I used a smaller valve so it would sit down inside the port, to clear the head at zero lift. In retrospect, it probably didn't need to be such a good alloy just to cut eight small moons in aluminum, but better safe than sorry...
