Mexico vs American pug v6 ?

283's and 327's had to have valve seats, but I don’t recall the later 350's needing it. I was looking online to see when unleaded came out and surprised to discover that unleaded was the first gasoline. They started adding lead in 1950 and faded it out in the 80's.

Found this clip in the article and now I know where my troubles originated.
"These efforts were rewarded when a study in 2002 found that lead levels in children had dropped by 80 percent from 1976 to 1999 in the United States. Also, children with less lead in their blood had higher IQs and greater economic productivity. In 2008, the EPA reduced the acceptable amount of lead again to 0.15 parts per million. This is about 10 times less than the amount allowed in the 1970s."

Think about the lead pipes for plumbing, lead in the gas, lead in the paint - and seriously, kids DID often chew on things, or paint flakes got picked up by a linoleum lizard or rug rat crawling around sticking everything in their mouths that could be caught.

I LOVE the history of the gas engine, and all that goes with it (you can sort of tell by the back end of my garage - in fact, the whole addition back there).

In the winter mine idles for about 10-15 min. Every single morning on remote start up temps really plummet here . With the 70°mornings as of late about 5 min.

I get impatient in the winter - do a remote start - then 5 minutes later go out and drive it.
If it's not below 10 degrees (F), I just get in, start it, and maybe wait a few seconds if its cold, and drive off with it.
Like I learned years ago - I do take it easy - don't push it hard and keep the speeds down, easy on the throttle until things are warmed up a bit, but no extended idling in most cases.

Well ,I have to get out in that cold weather once I get there so I am literally getting dress3d and grabbing lunch items before heading out . So just sorta a habit .. never once during the winter did the transmission ever warm above 105 so I always take off easy just like you do.
