I have read several different articles that insisted that cars with original never rebuilt heads which ran with leaded gas already have reaped the benefits of lead and will be fine using unleaded gas

I've had Terry, I didn't want to worry you. Obviously, my guides were reamed just a hair too little, as my problem was very occasional. I agree that no one should redo the head unless something deman

Yes, that was clear from your post. Bronze guides and precautions against unleaded fuel are two different issues, so lety's look at them sperately. Rapid valve guide wear has always been a problem in
