  I remember talking to the guy that did the Poly heads for the motor 
that went in my wagon, he said harden seats wasn't really
necessary . I put over 100,000 unleaded ml. on my 62 poly motor which 
already had over 200,000 on it when I got it back in
88. and judging from the way things looked under the hood those were 
some hard miles. besides don't your valve seats get
flame hardened every time the cylinder fires?:-)
