So the heads
"Hello All,
So the heads on my merc 350 need to be rebuilt due to one of the cylinder valves destroying the seat. Is there any way to repair this seat besides taking it to an engine rebuilder? I just got a quote for a complete rebuild for my heads of $325 per head! Is this ridicilous, or should I just man up and accept it? Also, I taked to someone and they said it may be due to a problem with the ignition or fuel system that would cause a sticky or burnt valve. The only possibly that I can think of would be the petronix ignition that I put in to replace my points. I am thinking about going over to a mallory conversion, could this possibly be a problem? Let me know, I am trying to keep the cost down. Thanks Jon"
