Hello List:
I'm tearing down my M38 L-head engine for partial rebuild and am wondering
about the lifespan of original valve seats versus hardened insert valve seats
with the use of today's unleaded gas. Anyone have experience with just using
standard valve seats, or is it worthwile having the seats inserted with
hardened units? If I left them alone (with the exception of seating valves
with valve grinding compound), what sort of lifespan could I expect? I'm
intending to use this as a daily driver.
