it's not a time issue...seriously not giving much of a chit, and I am not paying to redo the heads again right now, one set is past that point, if anyon e wants to send a check I will be happy to accept the cost... until then I have a 50/50 shot and I will deal with it... it may go 50 hours.... may got 500....

The seats are beat up a tad not sunk into the casting, I won't post anymore so you won't have to read it... Whatever.... I can't change everything every time something arises, I know 3-4 guys without the issue so it's not a GAURANTEE this will happen, and I am already too far into it now so whatever, like I said before if you want to send a check to pay for it send it.... I have spent enough, if I have issues again the whole thing is going to get parted out so I am willing to just move on.

And more ports irk since it's all done... Plain and simple the heads are going to be how they are. I just can't go backwards again. Many guys have no issues and some do... So it is what it is.
Not trying to be a jerk about it but I don't have endless money I have way too much into this as it is. Going to be a divorce eventually.

Tim a competant cylinder head shop charges $10-$15/seat labor to install seats. The cost of a seat is right around $15/seat. If I competant shop does the work there should be minimal if any blending that needs to be done. If you just did the exhaust your into it for $250/set of heads. That's $500 or $1000 if you want to go all the way with its. Of coarse you will need a valve job. But you should need a valve job anyway. In the grand scheme of things it's money well spent. Sometimes you have to sit down and look at where to spend the smart money on the project rather than just spending money when the money isn't there.

If you are running O2s, lead or oil in the gas will shorten their life. I run 100 to 1 amsoil two cycle oil for poker runs or other extended hard runs to lubricate the blower and ease the stress on valves.
Tim, You do what you want, but if you took your motors apart and don't address everything that doesn't look right why would you think the problem would correct itself.
