What supports what you are saying is that
Amoco White gas (premium grade from years past) did not have lead and the cars
did not have problems. Tom

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Unleaded gas
for leaded cars
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.

curious as to what folks are doing to replace the lead. Otherwise, valve
rescission becomes an issue. Tom Taylor
