Hi All
Does anyone have any experience of these engines with regard to physical modification for use of unleaded petrol please?
In the late 80s we just used to retard the ignition timing by about 3 degrees and recommend using leaded fuel about every 6th fill, as I recall.
We never had a request to fit modified cylinder heads but my customer is now asking for advice as to whether it is worthwhile doing this.
In keeping with our ethos of not charging for unnecessary work, I want to research the real issues before advising him.
This engine possibly dates from 1986. The car does limited mileage.
Regards,
Steve
