Wouldn't it be best to install hardened seats, regardless of fuel
preference. (Assuming you're replacing all of them anyway)
If hardened seats are installed, could the lead substitute be left out?
Would anything else change?
Unless the hardened seats are really expensive and the lead is really cheap,
then it seems that the change would make things simpler.

Whitney,
I am not sure what I am going to do about the valves and seats until I talk
to the machinist. I am thinking of not using hardened seats since I use the
lead substitute.
Do you think that this reasoning makes sense? Does anyone know if the lead
substitute works?
