Reply to "Valve in new engine not seating"

panteradougMember

The one set of heads I was refering to, when I popped some valves to look at the seats, the seats must have been .120" wide! Just a single cut.

It was a "high performance shop" frequented by the local drag racers.

I can tell you that in experimenting on some scrap heads with the 60° bottom cut and "port cutter" that it is pretty easy to hole through. I definitely learned that.

I had come to the conclusion that the casting thicknesses varied from head to head. I would not want to do heads for a living at all.
