Early Chrysler six Valve Seats


Recommended Posts

Came from the factory with hardened exhaust valve seats starting in, I believe, 1933. No issues with lead free gas at all. Not sure what additive packages they are using in Australia but in the U.S. modern gas additives are not kind to original style rubber components in the fuel system, so if your fuel pump and flex line haven't been replaced in the last 10 or 20 years you might have a problem with those.

They have exhaust valve inserts installed at the factory. Were made to run on low lead or unleaded gas of 65 octane. If you are concerned about upper cylinder and valve wear you could add a little upper cylinder lubricant to the gasoline. Redex, Marvel Mystery Oil, Bardahl or your favorite brand. This is more to protect cylinders, rings and valve guides than to prevent valve burning. These additives claim to reduce wear and lengthen engine life. Today's gas is very dry and often includes alcohol and additives that make it dryer.
