Reply to "Valve in new engine not seating"

The cylinder head is off and will be going to the machine shop this morning to fix the #1 intake valve and the #4 exhaust valve. I did another leak down test this morning and the other valves are sealing properly.

This is a high compression engine. It has 1970 D0AE closed chamber heads and flat top piston making it higher compression than the 1971 Panteras. The 1971 D1AE closed chamber heads have a higher volume chamber. Hmmm, maybe I should reduce its compression with the thick head gaskets intended for such? Or just run 100 octane?
