[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 7, Issue 335

[Jeff Feit]

My Tiger has the original 260 that has never even had the cylinder heads off
of it. I've probably put 5-10K miles on it with unleaded and no additives. I
think that despite the original sky-is-falling fears about unleaded fuel,
the reality of it is that unless it is an extreme case (high RPM, high lift,
heavy valvesprings) it isn't a problem.

Can anyone advise if they have been running their Tiger on unleaded 87
octane gasoline WITHOUT  hardened valve seats and if the engine has been run
for several thousand miles without valve problems.
