30 Tudor, I feel your pain about the seats but, seats are not a bad thing , when needed. I never install stainless seats. The difference in the metals of the seat and the block will most often cause problems ,especially with the exhausts. If the temperatures of the exhaust get too high, it can cause the cast block to expand faster than the stainless and the seat can release the seat causing severe damage. The only way I install seats is to use cast iron seats and peen them for added security. I have installed stainless but, only at the insistence of the owner and I don't warranty them. This is all included on the customer estimate and invoice. In your case, it is quite possible to remove the seats and properly install slightly larger cast iron seats.
