Re: [FWDLK] Unleaded gas for leaded cars

[William Huff <wbh@xxxxxxxxx>]

All the reading I have done, in addition to running my old cars on
unleaded for the past few years, leads me to believe that valve recession
is not a problem.  The lead was put into the gasoline to improve
burning characteristics, for knock resistance, not for valve
lubrication.  None of the authors of the articles I have read had
ever seen a valve problem attributed to non-leaded gas.  Wish I
could find some of them, they are in some boxes of magazines I intend to
sort and store some day.  Right.
