Lead additives/replacements
std3 - August 14th, 2017 at 07:27 PM

Do you guys use any lead additives or replacements for old aircooled engines?
Some say, I don't need any, others, definitely need that.
I bought a bug, (gets rego this week or next) and wanna take care of her as much as I can.

Cheers

Csaba.

P.S: This can be the answer?

If the heads are Original, Pre ~1967-68 it may be worth using an additive...
