If they are NOT stainless then they are probably OEM valves, (or direct replacements), for a CJ head.

Put a magnet to them. The higher alloy stainless steel valves are not magnetic. The OEM valves were steel, so they would be magnetic. Also, they were welded at the juncture of the stem and the head, therefore if you closely inspect them there, you can sometimes still see where there are weld marks or voids.

The standard CJ intake valve was 2.245" in diameter however, OEM they were originally 30 degree seats. Changing them is not a problem. Valves are available in the aftermarket with either seat angle made of steel or stainless steel; (even alloyed stainless steel which is slightly magnetic).
