Valves hitting pistons won't be problem, but performance will gradually deteriorate as the valves become more and more shrouded, plus valve clearances will be constantly reducing, leading to the danger of burnt valves as others have suggested. But this could take many thousands of kms, so wouldn't be too concerned in the short term. Never used LRP so can't comment, but premium unleaded should work fine, plus some form of valve lube, perhaps. --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]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
