The seats should be no big deal. You may have to
drill new holes. I assume you have the rails and all.
BTW, 190 is not that bad. If it goes no higher,
you'll be fine. It is a transplanted 1600, right?
185 to 190 is par for the course. If it spikes
however, think head gasket.....eliminate all easy
stuff first, but... Just watch the gauge.
