Frustrated

"Stuff happens". We all make mistakes.
Just an FYI - the intakes do not recess like the exh valves do. I've never, in 30+ years (including my years as an ASE Master tech), ever had to replace an intake seat. I have heard of damaged heads needing them - so it can and is done. But usually it's when you're going with the same size valve, and the damage to the existing seat area is so bad you would have to sink it and really mess things up... Going with the next size up intake valve usually solves the problem, and increases flow potential of the valve job as a whole. So just for next time - intakes will not typically need replacement seats unless there's significant damage and you need to retain the existing intake valve size.
I did a little more investigating and found out there was 2 choices for seat machinist was cutting in 1/4" deep seats and there was a seat that measured 1/8"That should of been used I do not disagree with you on your thoughts of not needing intake seats however this is what was done they were pitted quit bad a larger valve is a great idea and should of been option. Thanks for the info always good to bounce ideas off of others
