I disassembled the head and found that the valve seats and ports were rusted from sitting in the weather for the last 20 years. Would it be cheaper to clean it up and remill the valve seats myself since I have access to a milling machine or to just go and buy a new one? Also, is it possible to put small-block chevy roller rockers and roller lifters in this thing or are there companies that make performance parts specifically for inline sixes? Thanks, Drew

You'll probably want to consider hardened exhaust seats, because of the unleaded gas. You may want to do a little reading about this engine and this book by Leo Santucci has some good info.

They're the BB chevy rockers, so the ratio is more like 1.7 rather than 1.75...but my cam is a bit lumpy, so the smaller ratio will smooth it out a bit. | | |

They will hot tank it & grind the valves & seats. Like Richard says you will want to get hardned seats. You could get a 71 up head or a 292. They have hardened seats.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |

They work under a 235 cover(with adapter) or a Clifford with some clearancing and two gaskets. Crower also makes roller lifters for Chev inlines.
Two places that are inline specific are Stovebolt Engine Company and Clifford Performance. | | |
