[T2] Valve seats

[Al Brase]

I would not think you would need SEATS at that mileage. Guides earlier than
seats. Seats need to be shrunk in, usually put the head in an oven for a
while. My guess is that there is a learning curve. Then the valve seating
area needs to be cut concentrically. There are NEWAY cutters, which do a
good job. But I'd guess buying the cutters might be $500-1000. My brother
has them.
Or a hot rod  shop with a SERDI machine.
