Re: Can I run unleaded gas
If you know anyplace you can still get leaded gas let me know. I think unleaded is pretty much your only choice. Even lead substitute additives don't have any lead in them. I would just run it and if you eventually have wear just pull the heads and have hardened seats installed then you are good to go.

Re: Can I run unleaded gas
its probablly been running on unleaded gas for well over 25years so i'd think anything that would have failed due to gas is long gone

Re: Can I run unleaded gas
What do you guys think about using a higher grade gas say 94 octane. I go to Chevron and use #1 which is 94 octane with an added fuel additive called Techrolene
esll.

has it -- Max Lead 2000 Octane Booster. Real tetraethyl lead. It's spendy: $33/ gallon, but 12 Oz. treats 20 gallons... $9 for a quart. Back when you could get it over the counter at checker auto [maybe 15 years ago] I ran it in a (then) aging 292. I got a speeding ticket out in the sticks. That old L6 thought it was back in the '70s.  I was tempted to get some again when some snooty yuppie in a $1500 bicycle faked a cough at me at a stop light. [He was all over the road, too maybe provacatively so]. Like I'm not "green" enough. I'll just tank up with that stuff an double clutch all over their El Tour route. Suck on that M_____F-----s!  Since I rebuilt with stellite valves in the 292 I don't really need it.
