 |
|
i know this question has been asked 100's of times, and I have searched the forums and read alot of different opinions, BUT... just one last time...
1) It is possible to run gemini's on unleaded fuel, yes?
2) Does this require premium unleaded fuel or will normal unleaded fuel work okay?
3) does running a gemini on ULP (if possible) have any long term effects, such as engine problems, changes in performance, etc... and if so, what are they?
4) Are there any modifications that need to be made to run on ULP, and if so, what are they?
I'm sorry to have repeated many of these questions but there has been alot of conflicting opinions on this site, and I would just like to clear it up.

it has been my experience that there is no mods needed to run ulp.
jus change the usuals [air/fuel filters] and screw with your timing a little, IE a tune up, and things should be fine.
all pulp does is give a little more oomph, over ulp.

| In the long run it will damage your engine i dont know exactly but you will need to install hardened valve seats about $45 dollars each to install and machine from any good engine rebuilder and ive heard bronze valve guides help too. DOnt quote me on any of that im not entirely sur but i do know that hardened valve seats are reccomended. |

You haven't been paying attention and you clearly don't know what you are talking about, geminis come factory with hardened valve seats.
I have an absolute distaste for misinformation and heresay and if posts of such become commonplace, it will result in bans. |
