Per the CS press release:
viewtopic.php?t=32149
Now my motor is currently apart and the machine shop is recommending new valves, however I know that changing the valves requires machining the seats. This is a problem for me since I want to keep everything that was RC specific, so I need to know if machining the valve seats is going to change anything that was only done for the RC/CS/GrpA. The release isn't terribly clear though, so I can't tell if the laser-clad seats are in all 3SGTE's or just the CS/RC.
Halp!

To improve heat dissipation in the valve area next to the valve seat, the 3S-GTE cylinder head uses the world's first laser-clad seats. Welded by laser beam, the one-piece structure allows heat to dissipate more evenly.
