There might be a hundred attributes that one might wish to measure about engine valves, loose and installed. Most of them can be measured just fine with normal/classical metrology equipment.

Please give us a clue about what exactly you wish to measure.

What's your volume? 100/year 10,000/year 10 million/year

Gaging can be as simple as mcgyvr has said or highly automated. Your valve stem is probably your closest tolerance dimension. A simple go / nogo snap gage will tell you if the part is good or bad. Process inspection will require knowing where in the tolerance band you are making the part so an indicating gage will be required. Roundness of the stem and finish are also required. The following is old used piece of equipment.
