Guess I'll add another two cents.. as many will recall, a valve job was
the bread and butter of repair shops (mine included) since the advent of
unleaded fuel I have not seen a single valve job and valve seat recession
only on a race engine. New chemicals have been added to replace the
octane boosting and lubricating attributes of lead. Most of what is out
there as advice is a total myth or marketing BS.. My opinion .
