Hi all
I am considering putting a Flashlube kit into my 71 HG 161. I have heard that unleaded gives a less controlled rate of burn than leaded fuel did.

This is gunna sound bad - it relates to a Suzuki Sierra 4WD! I ran its little 1.3 litre pre-ULP engine on nothing but ULP for five years. No mods, no damage, with a thing called a Fuelstar catalyst. A Kiwi invention, it fits like an inline fuel filter and

I think you will find the suzis had alloy heads with hardened seats anyway so were u/l compatible.
