RE: Those should be the same

It was very late in the game. I think about 75 or so. I hate to say this, but don't chance it. I know all about how a $200 valve job becomes a $400 valve job and now the cheap rebuild is not looking so cheap anymore.
I just spend a VERY shinny penney on my setup and everything got more expensive as I got more into it.
Don't skimp on the hardened seats, you only need these on the exhaust side, and the current price should be $80-$100. Skimp on other things but not this, the unleaded gas is not kind to the standard head and this engine was generally not designed for unleaded gas.
By the way, the positive seal intake stem seals shouldn't cost any extra of very little extra. I like these as the old style just don't last and the engine sucks oil on the intake stems after a while.

I like to think of the 20 years of a good running trouble free engine that I'm going to have, as I reach for the check book, it helps with the price shock! But afterall it's just money, right?

This thread, so far...
