You might want to replace the valve guides &
seats with a harden type of parts etc. This will enable less top end wear due to
unleaded fuels of today. However this is a specialist job.

Subject: IML: '59 413 valve cover
gaskets
It is getting close to the time I want to remove my
valve covers, and repaint them from the fire engine red someone has put on
them, back to the black they're supposed to be. I heard at a recent car show
that the 413 four bolt gaskets were getting hard to find. Does anyone know of
a source for these? Also, how hard is it to do a valve job? Remember, I failed
carburetor 101 by not removing the metering rods before putting back together
the two halves of the carburetor, so we're talking very novice mechanic
here. Bill '59 Crown
