List, 



A machine shop is telling me that they will no longer install hardened valve 
seats in cast iron heads because doing so substantially increases the chance of 
the head cracking. Supposedly (they say) this is even more risky with highly 
tuned street or race engines. Are they blowing smoke or is this true? 
Comments......
