NEC classic car show! looking forward to that, what a great day that was.!!

 

 

Do halfords still sell castrol valvemaster, i know they did but last time i went to my local store they had no lrp type products at all, nothing.
did ask the bod on the till but i might aswell have been talking martian.
 
ended up ordering it off ebay in the end, got fed up ringing local motor factors and been told no lol

I got a bottle of the wynns version, its not very clear that its for leaded cars on the bottle but what else could lead additive be used for? I normally buy a couple of bottles of castrol valvemaster plus at the nec classic car show, lasts me ages.

I rarely visit the outdoor wash outs these days, save my money and see ten times as many cars strolling around in a t shirt!

I just removed my old head recently after 6000ish maybe more miles and the exhaust valves were starting to go. Foolishly i hadn't been using lead replacement as I assumed it was an unleaded head! Doh! Swapped it now for a head with hardened seats.
