[Healeys] Hardened seats in a cast iron 100 head

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

Hi Michael,

I wouldn`t do it again! I nlet  it done on one of my cylinder heads and 
cracks was the result when we pressed them in.

I still have a head which is crack free. But its on the shelf in my 
storage. In the car is an aluminium head.

I am still using cast iron heads on both my 100's. Amazingly neither have 
serious cracks as are so common on these.
I am really picky and don't particularly like the different sound that a 
100 engine with an aluminium head makes so would like to continue using 
these cast iron ones. 
I'm contemplating installing hardened seats in one. 
Hase anyone done this successfully?
