Hi Robert,

over here those guys selling the lead pellets and in-line lead additives have all but gone from the market, an independant magazine paid one of the test house's to conduct some research and found that they just don't work....one of the reason's they can get away with it is that the older cars that need lead rely on the lead already kicking around the combustion chamber (lead memory). This can last many tens of thousands of miles if the engine is only lightly loaded, like how most classic car drivers drive.
If you boot the gas the lead memory soon disapears and then valve seat recession can set in. So, there are some 'officially' OK additives but none of them are from names that are found in the states....which is waht I found a little strange.....

cheers

Richard
