What kind of engine do you have? If an air-cooled, then
in my opinion you should buy rebuilt heads that have had the
valve-seat dropping problem eliminated, meaning Mark Stephens
in California. I dunno if anyone else does that. I sent
my heads to Mark Stephens... it cost a small fortune (maybe
$450 total for both heads?) but I don't worry about dropping
a valve seat at some random juncture.
If it's a waterboxer, then I'm clueless.
