My understanding is that the valves and seats in old engines
needed the lead to soften and protect them. Metallergy, apparently,
has advanced so that modern engines don't suffer from this wear
and tear.

After the head on my Case was rebuilt using modern valves, seats,
etc, my machine shop guy insured me unleaded gas was fine. Prior
to the rebuild, I took the old timer's advice and put a lead additive
in the tank.
