Hi Lee,
I rebuilt my Poly last year (about 10,000 miles ago) and have had no
problems with the stock factory seats.  I decided to rebuild the heads
without replacing the seats and figured I could always replace them if I
had a problem in the future.  However, I did have a car that had a
hardened seat fall out and bang up the pistons pretty good.
Regards,
Ken

>hardened valve seats? Also, I have heard about the seat problems
because of
unleaded gas. However, I have never yet talked to anyone who has
actually
had a problem with it. Is this just a rumor, or has anyone on the list
actually ever had problems with a Mopar using unleaded? <

OK, Thanks for all the replies. Out of the 10 responses recieved for the
question about problems with running stock heads without hardened seats,
I
got no one who has ACTUALLY had, or known of anyone, that ever had a
problem! Could the hardened seat theory just be a "modern myth"? I'm
starting to wonder.....
Anyone else care to add anything?
