Jim, it probably varies a litle from one alloy of SS to another....
However, we use interference fit SS valve seats in cast iron heads, so I'd have
to venture a guess that SS expands more than cast iron..

Can someone tell me which expands faster as it heats up - stainless steel 
or cast iron?
Thanks,
