This might have been discussed before but i missed it.
What kind of damage leaded fuel will cause other than o2 sensor. The compretion
in our b18c7 is so high the unleaded fuel where i live suck 89 octaine.On the other hand lead is about 91 octaine.
which one should i use . currently unleaded only.

 

o2 sensor and cat will get damaged.. so stick with unleaded.

seriously, i think that our 100 octane here is unleaded.

 

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.

 

hell our 114 race gas is unleaded here
