[Fot] Unleaded and valve seat damage: Myth???

[Bill Babcock]

Yeah, I never have had a problem either. I've had more than a few heads done
with hardened seats, but that's because I was doing work on them. My vincent
still has the original seats, and so do my BSA's --no sign of problems.

this engine and go ahead and do the valve seats when an old machinist I like
to use told me its all a myth and that he has never seen valve seat damage
either. "I'll be glad to take you money..."
