Is there any way to tell if the head has been rebuilt for unleaded gas?
My engine in my 54 is not original. There is a tag on the side that states "REMANUFACTURED ENGINE/PRODUCTION NO./239546/REMANUFACTURER/CODE 1.
I've read a couple articles concerning this. Some say the valve seats will burn up if not rebuilt, others say its not a big concern if it is not a daily driver. Also see the parts stores sell "lead substitute". This doesn't seem economical at $7 a bottle.
So what can I expect if I drive the old gal about 50 miles a week? How long before she gets mad at me and breaks down?
