Makes me wonder what the shop did wrong that the seats would drop like that.
Don't know enough about the process. Hope you find a shop that can get it back together for you. Dave |

The shop that rebuilt my heads opened today after their summer holidays so I paid them a visit taking the heads, each with one dropped intake valve seat.
According to the shop it was either the timing that was out or over revving the engine that caused the seats to drop. In other words it was not due to a bad workmanship, it was apparently my own fault. Things got a bit heated on there part when I stood my ground and declared it was down to them. What do members think could timing or over revving cause the seats to drop? I never revved the engine over 3500 and I was careful to set the timing to spec. |

Some shops have no idea how much interferance fit is required for new seats,or for that matter how to remove them correctly,appears to be the case here,sorry to see this,what solution have you reached with them?

I would say to post the name of the shop.....but given it is in Sweden, I am pretty sure he won't be receiving any work from the U.S. and I am pretty sure you got the club members of in Sweden filled in to prevent any future such incidents.
I hope you can get it repaired and running for a reasonable price. |

I don't see any signs of massive overheating on those heads. I suggest to get a second opinion. |
