>I seem to recall this being asked before, but I couldnt find anything >in the archives, is it ok to run an L26 on unleaded?
In the short term, running on ordinary unleaded would require some fiddling with the timing to avoid pinking but running on premium/Optimax/etc would present no problems. In the longer term, valve seat recession would be a problem, esp with an early head that had the original bronze valve seats. Some later heads came with steel seats and this would not be such a problem. All of the above assumes you have an L26 with the original head. L28's do not suffer any of these problems as they are designed to run on unleaded. IMHO, if you have the original L26, then just run the thing till it dies and in the meantime either get hold of an L28 to cover that eventuallity, or build up an L26 head (E88) to run on unleaded to replace the original. Personally I'd recommend the L28 option :-) --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
