    Are stainless valves harder on stock iron head seats?

    Doing a set of 2.02 J heads, and some stock valves are questionable. I was considering a stainless set, but started wondering if the stainless valve would be harder on the stock seat in todays unleaded world. Car is a weekend driver with 500 lift Hyd cam, so more spring pressure than stock.
