Re: hardened valve seats

[moparbikeguy@xxxxxxx]

Lead in gasoline was used to lubricate the valves. a long time ago, when "low lead" gasoline first came into play, Don Garlitts wrote an article for the Detroit News, stating that you could use 1 ounce of trans fluid for every 10 gallons of gasoline to do the same job. I have been use "Marvel Mystery Oil" lately (it has a measurement gage on the bottle) and have had no problems with valves sinking. Of course, you will still have to purchase the correct octane for your application. In my case that is Shell Premium. Hope that this helps you.

I apologize, because I know this has come up before, but do I need 
hardened exhaust seats installed in my heads for a daily driver engine 
that will never see the track?
