I agree, and it's amazing the number of people that think they know how to install valve seats, but don't do it correctly. In the 80's I worked in a shop doing engine work, and I always used a liquid locking fluid on the seats, and I also peened the metal over the outer top edge of the seat to make sure they stayed locked in place.
