: Glad to hear your valves were not stuck.
: As for leded gas, yes the engine needs it, especially if you intend to drive it as your primary vehicle, the led lubes the valves in the valve guides. When I rebuilt my engine, I had hardened seats, guides and valves installed, but you may want to talk to a machine shop and ask them if you need to do all that.
OK, so explain what I need to do, exactly... We just got our '48 CJ2A and want eventually to run it in parades and to historic events as both my husband and I are historians and have no way of obtaining leaded gas....
Thanks for educating me!
