The standard alpine valves and seats are hard enough for use
with unleaded gasoline.

I have heard from several sources that the OEM Alpine seats
are Stellite.

Anyone have data that does not support this?

Also, stainless Datsun 510 valves can be cut down fo use in
the alpine, but the seats will have to come from another car,
or will have to be made.

Manley makes the stainless valves, but they cost close to $20 each.
