I'm going to have to take it in for a machine shop to put in a new valve seat ring.
Who has experience with replacing one valve seat? Should I expect it to run with this repair or would I be better served to spend the money to replace all of the valve seats? Your thoughts please!
It is hard to say with out seeing the rest of the seats. But remember they all went the same distance.
