    My experience for what it’s worth, I finished the rebuild of my Light 15 Roadster in 2012 and since then have done over 20,000 miles of hard fast driving all over Europe, we have also crossed the Pyrenees into Spain over the infamous Col de Tourmalet. So far all is good and at this years annual check over (last week) compression’s have not decreased and nor has cylinder leakage. Valve clearances had changed slightly on a couple of valves but most were OK.

    I have consciously used Super Unleaded as this has the lowest or in some  cases no ethanol added. (please check oil companies web sites for the latest information), I also use Classic Valvemaster Plus which is a lead replacement and octane booster. (The head has been skimmed and dome topped pistons fitted).

    I will of course have no idea if what I am doing is right until I have a failure and strip the engine, but so far so good.

    Good luck with you choice of products.
