<VV> 110 vs 140 Heads

[MarK Durham]

Its just that the small valve heads have a lot less problem with dropped
seats than the hotter running 140 heads. I do not know the dynamics of why
that is other than the 140 heads have a larger intake runner and larger
valves and larger exhaust tubes so they can flow more air/fuel mixture and
produce more power and the result is its easier to put them over the edge
when less than ideal hot conditions exist.  Mark Durham Hauser Idaho
