First Question:
Somewhere in the back of my brain, I seem to remember the valve sizes on the 1980 L-82 engines were reduced from 2.02/1.60 to 1.94/1.50. This was the only year L-82 that used the smaller valves. Am I correct or daydreaming?
Second Question:
Can the valve pockets (on the '80 L-82) be ground for the larger valves and retain their hard face, i.e., how deep does the flame induction hardening process penetrate?
Thanks for you help,
Mike
