FireHead Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 why was everyone so worked up over unleaded? only differance is the leaded helps lubricate the motor... and being they dont have O2 sensor they can run it??? My personal opinion is that it was just a hillbilly NASCAR thing, where it had pretty much been all they had run forever and changing to some thing new isn't something that goes over well with this series. Beyond that lead is also a lubricant, which means that you can get away with more from your valves and seats as well as your piston bores and rings. It's all bs anyway, I think the most of the fuss came from the media and the advertisers playing it up as something that could cause engines to fail, so that meant all of the executives thought that's what was going to happen. As far as I know the only person of any significance that lost a motor this weekend was Dale Jr. and that was due a rod letting go, which is probably more of a symptom of the state of DEI than anything else, from what I uderstand after talking to my v.p. this morning.
