[MV] Y2K and valve recession

The worst vehicle for VSR that I've encountered was......my 1971 MGB/GT! I
surmise it isn't too far evolved from the BMC A series. Now it has stainless
steel exhaust valves and stellite exhaust seats.

Just for good measure, I run a little 100 octane aircraft fuel through my
old cars periodically. I don't like to run it straight up though, too much
lead fouls the spark plugs- and it's expensive, nearly $1.89 per gallon
(Let's not start that thread again!).
