Re: 400 small block chevy

Shot in the dark here, maybe a valve seat is done due to unleaded fuels?

using unleaded fuels in an engine without hardened seats will eventually fail. Lead was a high temp lubricant used to prevent exhaust seats from receding.

I dunno for sure. Let us know what you find.

Just blame your brother for not using leaded fuel or getting hardened valve inserts installed. lol.

peace
