    Seems plausible, you only need a small film of lead deposit to cushion
    the valve seats by all accounts, OTOH, you only need the lead to save
    the valve seats if you don't have hardened seats (and many older cars do)

    exactly; tested at the ponds institute to reduce "visible lines" by 37%.

    If we combine them with a fuelstar and some purple harmony plates, you'll
    never have to fill again.

    So you're saying I wasted hundreds of dollars having hardened valve
    seats set in my alloy heads? Bugger.

    naah, me neither

    but you're not the chemist
    and it'd be vapourised lead surely?
    nope, new engine, never run on leaded
    cast iron valve seats

    I think High School chemistry will suffice for this conversation.
    Vapourised ? You didn't mention applying sufficient heat to turn it into
    a gas, and I can't imagine a steam of lead vapour at several thousand
    degrees Celcius being a good thing to be exposing to petrol.

    Let me be clearer then instead of trying to be nice.

    Sticking lead sinkers into petrol will not give you the same result as
    having the compound which contains lead (TEL) mixed into your petrol. Ie
    TEL does not equal petrol with lead in suspension.

    The valve seats were done by an engineer who was subcontracted by my
    mechanic. (Ringwood BMW).

    Well _duh_. What do you think the Energy Polarizer is for?
    Just as well the HiClone is there to cool things down so the
    Turbulator doesn't melt!

    No, I'm pretty sure they weren't brass.

    I think you got something right.
