[oletrucks] 235 Head

[Terry White <twhite@bcbsal.org>]

Question Time,
I've been using about 6 quarts of oil in 4 to 5 weeks now and
cylinders 3 & 4 Quite firing so after some checking , no. 4 only had
30 psi . After noticing some bent pushrods but no obvious valve
malfunction I pulled the head to check for a blown gasket. Found
nothing with the naked eye. I'm now about to send it to a machine
shop, the guy I'm thinking about using has said I should not replace
the valve seats even if it still has the old leaded gas ones in it. 
Everything I have read says to change them while you have it off
anyway.  Is it really that big of a deal, or is it that this guy may
not want to work on an old I-6 head ?

Thanks in advance, I am way over my head ( no pun intended I here
