I haven't gotten the cylinder head off yet, so I don;t know if I have
any valve seat recession. If so, I am considering replacing the seats
and valves myself. This head in particular has only been on for about
12 months.
A couple of questions:
1. How difficult will it be to do the seats myself?
2. Cylinder head gasket: put it on dry or with sealant (Permatex Copper
Spray-A-Gasket is what I have used in the past)
3. It's also probably time for new cylinder head studs. Do they stretch
over time? I have never replaced mine and I doubt that any of the PO's
did. I know, don't torque them into the head...
TIA
