Re: [T3] Diagnostic help: Loud popping...valveproblems?

               I believe (not positive) that it has something to do with a combination of two things.

(1) Using valve seats made from an alloy that has less
differentiation in expansion rate between the alluminum
cylinder head and the steel seat, as compared to the
OEM seat material.

(2) A tighter interferance fit to lessen the chances
of dropping a seat.

                      This is just what I remember from
reading past posts over there.
