Hrrrm.... I wonder if my motor is stuffed because I have been using that shit for the past year?????

So regular unleaded wont damage the motor at all? No need to use premium in it?

Ive been using the replacement stuff as well, i dont think it would damage anything, maybe just blow a tad more smoke as it burns thru! Unleaded is fine but i run premium and have been advised to set the timing to 10 degrees. Supposedly more power, although it doesnt run any warmer as i was told it would. I guess as long as the radiator is fine all should work well.
