Exactly the lead formed a barrier that protected the valve seat. But lube or cushion same thing with the aspect of valve seat protection and what I was specifically talking about. It forms a protective layer to protect the head valve seat area or it would recede (or whatever your specific term you want to post for it lol) into the head over time casing several issue. Hence the use of hardened valve seats on all non-leaded cars in later years because they lacked the lead in gas. And the seat area

Well duh yes beef it up or else it wouldn't be worth the effort to run a few psi or small shot of N2O and not gain noticeable power.
Quick google search brings up some performance parts and even billet head and decent looking bottom end parts for K motors.
And surprisingly a blow err supercharged K motor.
Oh and If money is an issue then neither of the power adders is recommend. lol

More flow= more speed.

Correct haven't ever messed with one. Hence the question mark at the end of the sentence. How else to learn then as to ask questions and research. Point was if motor makes more HP can the Hydro trans actually put that to the ground in the form of speed given the topic at hand.
