Valve seats ??

Post by eggman918 »

Do the seats they put in heads came in more than one OD size for the same application?
This has to do with the head problem that I have with the Beast,will I need a new head or can I get a over size seat.If I can then hopefully my existing head can be salvaged :hmm:

Seat rings come in lots of sizes. A slightly larger size should work, if he can bore the hole without cutting into the water jacket.

Best of luck.

a good machine shop can pretty much make a seat for any application, oversize or otherwise.
