Adding 2.02 intake to J heads

I had my J heads upgraded to 2.02 intake valves. Was told by the machinist that there wouldn't be room for hardened valve seats. So they are not in there.
Was I told wrong?
The port job is nice enough and they flow 246 cfm. intake and 161 cfm. exhaust with the 1.60 exhaust valves.


The hard seat goes under the exhast. Has nothing to do with the intake. I have used 2.100 intakes with a hard seat under the exhaust.

You were either told wrong or you misunderstood.
