I have owned a 60 TR3A for 18 years.  Some time back I dropped an exhaust
valve seat in my number 4 cylinder.  Thank goodness i was at idle at the
time!!!!  When I removed the head I found the the valve seat embedded in the
piston with no damage to the cylinder.  

My problem is how do I get a new exhaust valve seat and install it into the
head?  

Also, There is a small crack between the exhaust seat and the intake valve
opening..  Does this mean that the Head is trashed or can I get it welded or
something???

I have another head, but it is in pretty bad shape.  (no cracks though).
