I think the seat would have to be really bad that it couldn't be re-cut or ground to place the contact area where it needs to be.. If the seat can be cut so the contact area doesn't run off the valve face and is .080"-.090" wide you'll be fine.. If the valve can be re-faced so there is still a good margin and isn't too loose in the guide it'll be fine..
