The Japanese have had unleaded since the mid 70's (around 76, I think), so engines built before then generally had bronze seats...the original head in my '74 260Z certainly did. >But lead is a good upper end lube(even if its not needed) it should >last longer. >Avgas has high oct level and the biggest amount of lead per litre. >They might ban leaded petrol for cars but they carnt take the lead >out of Plane engines. This is changing as well..there is now a low-lead AvGas available (still has more lead in it than our old super fuel, but !!), and there is talk of phasing out leaded fuels for light planes...military will still continue to use it, however :-) --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]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
