Ber seats are rarely used anymore they are too toxic.Ampco 45 seats are used mostly now for intakes and a more copper based seat for exh.
I have never heard that but I have never done a big spray head.With the proper press fit on the seats I don't think it would be an problem,I would use something like .008-.010 instead of .006 -.008. High heat applications are their main reason for use,along w/the softer surface that treats Ti valves better.
