Integral valve seats typically run hotter than inserts because they are often made from the same material as the cylinder head, which can lead to higher thermal conductivity and heat retention. Inserts, on the other hand, are usually made from materials designed to dissipate heat more effectively, allowing for better temperature management. Additionally, the design of inserts often allows for better coolant flow and heat transfer, contributing to lower operating temperatures compared to integral seats.
Valve seats can be categorized into several types based on their design and application. Common types include integral seats, which are part of the valve body, and replaceable seats, which can be individually replaced when worn. Other categories include screwed-in seats for easy replacement and soft seats made from materials like elastomers for better sealing at lower pressures. Additionally, seats can be classified by the type of valve, such as gate, globe, or ball valves, each requiring specific seat designs for optimal performance.
The PCV valve is located/inserts into the front valve cover(v6) and is connected to a rubber hose.
The exhaust valve gets hotter than the intake valve.
The valve springs.
it will cause pinging running your combustion hotter
This is a procedure done to restore the valves and valve seats. This is done typically when having a head(s) reconditioned.
If it's got the original valve seats in it, I'd recommend using Lead Substitute in your gas. If you've got stellite valve seats, which by now you almost certainly do, unleaded is fine.
because ur heads need inserts..2500 dollar job
If it's a real old engine ( 1979 or older ) they do because the valve seats are soft not harden,and todays fuel will take the valve seats out of the heads. If you are going to use old heads with todays gas they will have to have hardened seats put in the heads.
None is needed. The car came from VW with hardened valve seats, and by now this specimen has had the heads changed--and all aftermarket heads have unleaded valve seats.
on the top of the motor on the passenger side there will be a hose that inserts into the side it pulls out really easy. remove old vale and replace with new and reinsert into valve cover
Some heads have replaceable guides and you just drive them out with the head off. Others need to be machined to have inserts installed.
