I live in Jordan, unleaded is only found in few gas stations,95% of cars use lead fuel. Thats the way things are in all the third world. Its cheaper to make lead fuel.

wow.... at least you guys have that motor over there.

the lead in gasoline is/was (in older cars, and still in piston aircraft engines) used to lubricate brass valve guides within the head. All new car engines have hardened steel valve guides. I dont know if the emulsified lead would build up within the valve guides under extended use or not, but it will definately kill your Cat within a very short period of time.

Yes the motor not not the itr. my b18c7 is stamped 06-00 that would make it 2001 year. i installed it in my 96 civic coupe.
