This pops up every now and then. My dad wrote an article that is now
on the VTR website regarding valve seat recession. It used to be kept
on the Team.Net site.

Subject: [Fot] Unleaded and valve seat damage: Myth???
As an old car buff for too many years, I can't say I have ever lost a
valve to unleaded gas. From flatheads through muscle cars including
vintage motorcycles and 40 years of driving this Triumph. I thought I
would be safe on this engine and go ahead and do the valve seats when an
old machinist I like to use told me its all a myth and that he has never
seen valve seat damage either. "I'll be glad to take you money..."
Just thought I would ping the list before closing on this decision.
Best,
M
