Can it be shrunk by welding on it? Can you weld on it? (I have MIG).
I do have a hand powered valve seat cutter but don't fancy trying to cut them out with that.
Any advice or pointers offered appreciated.

Mart what I do is use the tig torch and just weld on the seat without adding any filler rod at all the seats shrink a lot doing it this way. Very easy to do. Once the seats are out if you have an accurate way of measuring the bores for the seats in the block i think you will find there not round anymore. Now the next hoop in the project will need attention.
