<VV> valve seats II

[Mark Durham]

JR, I drove my original corvair 220k miles on 10W30 and didn't do
anything special accept for rings, bearings and seals. Did a valve job
in there some place too, but never had a problem with heads, they are
more bullet proof than you think. :):) But, you are correct, to make it
the best it can be, any and or all of those actions are good ones to
take. Mark Durham

       All this valve seat hoopla has, for the most part confirmed my
theory.  Heat is your biggest enemy.

I can truthfully say that  since I learned about "deflashing" the
heads and jugs, after carefully inspecting them, and have been "anal"
about unobstructed air flow  thru the heads, and have taken seriously
great pains to make sure the engine "plenum chamber"  and compartment
is correctly sealed, and use a good (Amsoil) 15w40 synthetic oil and
bypass filter setup as a heat dissipation aid :     I haven't lost a
valve seat yet.
