Definitely don't fix it, IMO. Odds are high you'll never have a
problem ...
so take the money you would have spent on those dubious additives and
put it
in a savings account somewhere. If you ever do have a problem, the
money
will likely more than cover the cost of new seats.

I'm with Randall: I took those "odds" and beat them. ;-) My Herald had
an original 50k miles on it when I bought it in 2002. I've put over 25k
miles on it since. Checked valve clearances twice since purchase and
have yet to make any significant (i.e. more than.0005-.001")
adjustments. All this while completely ignoring the "lead replacement
supplement" bottles that came in the trunk. (Maybe I should use them
only because any other method of disposal probably would cost me money?)

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
