Lead substitute vs upper cylinder lubricant


Dennis Detweiler

Recommended Posts

I still have the bottle of lead substitute that I bought 15 years ago when I first got my 47 DeSoto.  (Newby exuberance - buy whatever the car might need.)  Then I read on this forum that the valve seats are hardened, and these engines don't need Ethyl gas, or a lead substitute.
