Lead provided lubrication for the old unhardened valve guides. If your motor was rebuilt after 1982, it is most likely ok with hardened guides.
I'm not sure that I share K10's views, but then again, I run 93 in almost every vintage engine and especially in the bikes. It makes a huge difference in some engines, and not so much in others. Like in life, timing is key.
