Hi 
im currently putting a 2 bearing engine together for a friend, the bores have cleaned up nicely after a light rebore (got the pistons to suite) but 2 of the valve seats are pitted, on one of the cylinders that was seized. i was wondering what the best brand/ source of valve seat cutters are for these engines. Its running standard valves. thankyou all in advance, im in the uk.

This was discussed a couple of weeks ago and although a couple of brands of "professional" standard cutters were recommended, the general consensus was to steer clear of all DIY seat cutters as the expense of getting them cut professionally was well worth it.
