Hasn't changed, IMO=2E Most of the time, it's not necessary if the engine =
has run on leaded in the past, and the seats haven't been reground=2E I wou=
ldn't pull the head just to install hardened seats, unless the lash keeps c=
losing up on the exhaust valves=2E

But if you are going to grind the exhaust seats, which would remove the le=
ad-infused layer of steel, then having hardened seats installed makes sense=
 to me=2E=20

 Still not a guarantee (I've got a head on the shelf with badly recessed i=
nserts), but what Deere calls "best practice"=2E

As far as " business good, government bad", its like comparing moldy orang=
es to rotten apples=2E  Personally, I'm really glad our government isn't ru=
n like the place up the street, which has had something like 5 different bu=
sinesses in the past 10 years=2E Just think for a moment about every dollar=
 you own suddenly becoming like a gift card to Montgomery Wards=2E I've got=
 a whole box of "hard" currency from around the world, and most of it is wo=
rthless as money=2E

Not to mention the medical bill my late wife ran up before she passed=2E I=
'll never forget the insurance agent admitting he had known for months that=
 they were not going to pay, but didn't want to tell me=2E
