John,
I bought my TR4 ('65) new in 1966. I ran this car for years with Amoco
premium white with no ill effects. When I overhauled this engine
several years ago, I had one seat that needed replacing. Probably due
to bad adjustment or defective seat or valve. But generally the
condition of the seats and valves were not overly worn. I have replaced
all valves and resurfaced seats, only. To this day, I have not had any
problems, though I did change to using leaded fuel until it was no
longer available. No I add a lead substitute just to be safe.
