Some thoughts on the lead issue. Since lead is two things, an anti knock additive and a lubricant for valve stems, why not induce something that solves both problems? I realize that the valve faces

1 & 2 are, IMHO, the best solution, but you say you can't afford them, so: 3 - never heard of this, unless you mean additives, which you don't, because that's number 5! 4 - definitely don't! One ind

Anglian's price for an exchange head is 195 pounds, where Kipping charges 165 pounds. I'm not really interested in getting someone else to fit it, and Anglian Triumph are quite a long way from Swind
