Run the math, and you'll see it doesn't make sense. Intake and exhaust
valves are about $40/each. Factor in the cost of machining and time to
replace the valves and it's still cheaper to replace the valves every
50K miles (a conservative estimate) than toss in a buck or two of
additive every fill up.
Cheers,

have run my Eldo on high octane unleaded for years and have had no
