do i need to replace seats when replacing valve springs ?
 

car has 29k miles, cam with prc dual kit went in at 14k miles. i was replacing the valve seals, (seals didn't seat properly) and since it is a pain to get the valve springs out, i thought of installing new valve springs so i won't have to pop them out again in 6 months or so to replace them.

so, i ordered the prc dual kit again last week, and ordered new valve keepers as well from the dealer. so i'll be pulling out the old springs and putting in the new PRC's along with the new retainers, plus the keepers. my question is: should i change the seats as well ?, or just keep the ones i have, how long should they last ?

Thanks.

the seats just prevent the spring from digging into the head. they wont wear out like a spring.

no you shouldnt as long as they arnt messed up

i'll check them out before installing the springs. thanks a lot.
