Re: IML: High Octane

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

Sorry, this time you have gotten a few things backwards, but I'll let the others explain. Just keep doing what you are doing and I am sure you will be fine. The rest of us will have to do something else if we are living closer to Sea Level.

I can tell you that I have had zero issues with running 87 octane as long as I add the Lucas. ?The way it was explained to me, and keep in mind I am not a mechanic, is this. ?High octane does not lubricate the upper cylinders, rods, or lifters, ?thats what lead in the gas was for. ?The reason we run high octane is because is somewhat of a substitute for the lead not being there but in time it will still burn out the valves. ?Lucas is not a lead substitute but lubricates the valves better than lead did. ?That is why I have never needed a valve job, I don't run high octane.
