Without going into the gory details my advice is to not worry about it
and drive the car. Watch the valve clearance and if it starts to
tighten up then you will need to replace the seats, but I doubt you
will have any problem at all.

Subject: Lead Substitute
I just bought a 74 BGT. I can finally get my timing light and dwell
meter out
of moth balls! What is the opinion of the group on lead additives or
substitutes? I checked the local shops and none of the substitutes
noted
from the mgcars page was there. From the MG page Redline was
apparently
available in the US but again not sight of it.
www.mgcars.org:
The Oscars Go To.. FBHVC gave their endorsement to 4 products.
Interestingly,
each of these products uses a different additive: - Millers VSP-Plus.
Lead
Substitute & Octane Booster
Red Line Lead Substitute
Superblend 12 / Zero Lead Lead Substitute
Valvemaster Lead Substitute
Only one of these products, Red Line, is available in North America,
but it is
worth studying all the endorsed FBHVC products to see what US and
Canadian MG
owners can learn from the British tests
Any comments on other brands?
