Checking the web I found that the Red Line lead substitute fuel additive is=
 available through Amazon in 12 ounce bottles to treat 25 gallons for close=
 to $17.00, plus shipping, and adds about $.70 per gallon to the cost of wh=
atever octane is selected.

An alternative might be 100 Low Lead, or 100LL, aviation fuel available at =
almost any airport and add it to the auto fuel. Shell Oil Co.'s web site li=
sts 100LL as having 0.56g/liter of lead per gallon, https://www.shell.com/b=
usiness-customers/aviation/aviation-fuel/avgas.html,  which is about 560 pp=
m, or parts per million per gallon. I don't know if one gallon of 100LL cou=
ld be diluted in today's auto fuel and be enough lead to for a TR3's valve =
seats.

An alternative might be to use a few gallons of 100LL ($4.75/gallon in Ohio=
) from time-to-time and maybe (hopefully) enough lead residue would build u=
p to protect the valve seats. Click on this link to see 100LL av gas cost p=
er state. http://www.airnav.com/fuel/greatdeals/long?type=3D1

Maybe one of the lists math wizards could research how much lead was in aut=
o fuel before it was phased out and determine if 100LL can help.
