Frustrated

I'd like to see the heads and talk to the machinist before I said he did something wrong. I've put new hard seats under the intake valves. Did someone tell him they wanted all new seats?


I've done it too, but not under all 8. I also used ductile iron seats and not the hard seats.

I had a BBC come in that looked like it sat in a lake for a decade, and outside with a cat pissing on them for another decade.

I had to put 2 seats on the intakes on both heads. Sometimes you do what you do because the customer just had to have those castings.

Don't want to hang the machinist. Just want to know why he is doing what the OP says he's doing. Unless the OP is fibbing a bit...
