Hey guys I was just talking to one of my friends and we were wondering if you have to replace the factory valve seats when doing a valve job? Since they are already close to the factory limits...Or do you guys just run them as is, unless absolutley needed?

Thanks
J.J.

Ps I suck at grammer

 

bump, anyone?

 

You don't have to replace the seats on a typical valve job unless the seats can't be cleanly resurfaced within spec. Not that it's a bad idea, older parts have greater chance of cracking or otherwise failing.

 

Thanks, on my head we ended up doing it...this is a head shop and hes starting to get into hondas and asked me that question..so as long as they can be surfaced in spec they do not need to be replaced..thanks
