Yes is the simple answer, you will get many years service just running on unleaded. The heads have excellent "lead memory". The first casualities seem to have been Mk1 2000 engines, and a few very hard driven Mk2's. Schadenfreude expert and collector of assorted rusty Triumphs on the Essex/Suffolk Border. |
