| Need some help. I have a 1982 SkiTique with a PCM Ford 302. Am I safe running unleaded in it or not. Machine shop I deal with says Ford started using hardened valve seats in about 1974. Anyone know for sure? Thanks, Andre. |

| I guess what I should have asked was do I need to run an additive/supplement like Valve Tec or similar as a lead substitute. Thanks, Andre. |

Short answer, don't worry about it. Long answer, the additive will cost you more than the eventual valve job. It will take years for it to wear out. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Exactly!! There is no such thing as a "lead substitute" ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
