<VV> Dropped Valve Seat

[Ron Guy]

John,
   When I lost a seat on the 180, I removed the head, took it to a machine 
shop and had them disassemble, clean, and test all seats at 450 degrees. 
They only had to replace the seat that had dropped, and two guides to bring 
everything back into spec. Charged me $125. Also, the dropped seat was 
intact. It had not caused any chamber damage.  You need to get it off, look 
it over and get an estimate on fixing vs replacing with another head.

hope this helps
Ron Guy
