as posted in other threads i have a possible bad valve seat. i talked to my old man about the situation and he said it should be an "easy" fix. he said assuming the damage to the head wasn't too bad, he could machine the head and install an oversized valve seat. he works at a shop that makes alot of high tech stuff, so he has all the equipment. anyone know if an oversized valve seat is available, or even replacement valve seats available period. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) thanks!
