Richard Notton wrote much (Just an except) :

  "I suspect there's a connection to lead levels in the question which
generally provides a puzzle, the Ford CMP manuals of 1942 refer to
"highly
leaded" fuels presenting a different and unexpected deposit in stripped
engines, there are no folklore tales here of certain types regularly
burning
exhaust valves although the valve life and de-carb intervals then were
vastly different to current expectations and nimonic steel alloys were
the
preserve of aero engines only, eg., Jessops KE965, today known as 21-4N
being a high chrome/nickel, non-magnetic stainless steel and highly lead
resistant."

  This is just a small piece of his reply, & all I have to say is, "Thank
God he's on our side". Steve
