Re: ur-q 10v on unleaded?

Probably nothing.  I think all of these heads had hardened valve seats
since it is an aluminum casting and it would be senseless to use
different materials in different countries.  The only reason they
designated leaded fuel was probably because it was available and
cheaper.
Other comments?
