The lubrication from the lead was only beneficial
on the face of the exhaust valves and seats. That
is why hard valve seats give better life than the
softer material in the head. Far as valve guide
lubrication, it comes from the engine oil coming
down the guide, not the gasoline. Adding a bunch
of stuff to gasoline will only add to the carbon
buildup. IH sent out several service bulletins
back in the day, recommending the use of unleaded
gasoline to help overcome build up on valves AND
the use of low ash oils. This was prior to IH
introducing their own low ash oils. Problem was it
was very difficult to find. Some oils designated
for LP use were very low in ash at that time.
