All,
While we're on the topic of hardened valve seats, can someone tell me how
necessary they really are? When I had the machine shop overhaul the block
back in '97, the owner insisted that hardened seats weren't necessary if the
car wasn't going to be a daily driver? What you all think?
On a different topic, it's been 6 years (yikes! time flies at my age), since
I completed the restoration of the engine. Unfortunately, it's still
attached to an engine stand waiting for a car to go into! Hopefully, now
that shell is back from the restoration shop (they did a wonderful job),
I'll have it back in the car before the Summer. Are there any special
precautions I should take prior to cranking the engine for the first time?
Thanks,
Dave
