- Well, my ex-Spit got a no-lead head during overhaul, but it wasn't really any more expensive than a valve job for all new hardened seats and new guides. After that, it ran fine (10:1 pistons) on anyt

- After approx. the same mileage on very low lead and lead-ersatz petrol, the exhaust valve seats on my 150bhp 2.5 PI were pretty well burnt, to the extent that one exhaust valve har a crack in it. The

- Perhaps; however burnt exhaust valves are most often caused by setting the exhaust valve clearance too tight or by too lean a fuel mixture. Tighter clearance will make the engine less noisy but allo

- I check/reset the clearances once a year - they should be OK. Regretfully, I never made a note of which way the clearances went, however. I distinctly remember *some* of them increasing due to rocker

- The recommendation I get from the "experts" is to set the valves on the loose side (increased clearance). That may not give maximum power but should be best for valve life - at least that makes sens
