Tractor Rob said: (quoted from post at 03:43:22 11/01/09) I could really use a recommendation on an additive
for a 1950's 4 cylinder engine. I understand a

Lead in gasoline was used to "lubricate" the seats. This was especially important with the intake valve which were not hardened to the same specs as the exhaust.
Problems can be encountered with the valve receding. A lot of money was spent on older engines to add hardened intake valves and seats and in most cases it was unnecessary.
