LEADED OR UNLEADED

[mrclion]

how can I tell if my minor is leaded or not

engine is 948 H69638

any help appreciated

[Willie]

No Minor was ever supplied as suitable for 'unleaded' so
the engine number will not tell you. The only way is to be told
by a previous owner who actually fitted a modified head (and
to see the bills to prove it perferably).

its been in my m8s garage for 10 yrs and was suposed to fitted with a recon engine at that time? its most likely leaded then do you think

thanks

I would say so, more than likely. The only way to tell is to take the head off and have a look (not a good option).

Best to use unleaded with a protective additive such as Castrol Valvemaster or Valvemaster Plus.

[Willie]

I wouldn't bet on it and, since you could wreck the head if
you guess wrong i would use the approved additives as
suggested.

THANKS

So its best to use unleaded with the addatives

Yes, but only the approved ones, such as Castrol Valvemaster, Reddex, Millers, etc.
