Source for stock valve seat? Any one have any ideas on where to find a replacement valveseat for a 5.3L truck head?
I have a broken seat (intake) that needs to be replaced, and the guy doing the work isn't having any luck finding a stock replacement. GM lists nothing but the basic hardware (locks, valve seals, etc), and none of the "hard parts" like seats or guides.
Looks like he's going to have to cut a stock seat out and find a replacement that will work. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Source for stock valve seat? Thanks for the replies, guys... I believe the person doing the machine work to my heads has things under control at this point (hopefully). With any luck they'll be done sometime next week.
