We've been inundated at Gaydon this year with queries from owners as to whether they can run their 'leaded' cars on unleaded. Certainly, the UK press have gone in turbo-charged mode on this subject,

Without meaning to sow any more confusion on an already confused issue, I'd like to point out that it is possible to harden cast iron exhaust seats. Many (if not all) American cars use this method o

Wouldn't think so. If the valves are very close, the exhaust seat may have to be fitted "into" the inlet seat, but that should not be a problem. Sorry, the above sentence contains a contradiction. If

I'd be curious to know exactly or approximately when various countries eliminated lead. In the Midwest I can say we definitely had lead about ten years ago, but in very low levels, since the federal

Just to play devil's advocate, don't forget our LBC's after 1968 have had lower compression than the European equivalents, so octane won't affect their running, unless they have dieseling problems. T
