The factory Volvo LPG and CNG heads had special valve seats , however having an alloy head means they are already much harder than on a cast iron head .
As long as you are not flying up and down motorways all day for 100000 miles and bearing in mind if you do get trouble there is not a lot lost you will have to get the seats done then ..
