re: LED additive
If it makes ya feel better, use it, if the heads have never had a valve job ( non hardened seats, I doubt they are ) there are arleady traces of lead in the seats from running leadded gas in the past so they are getting lubricated by the lead anyway. Really, it's a myth to need it, in normal driving conditions, you don't need it and it's not going to affect anything if you do or don't use it.

re: LED additive
ive always read that valves would dig into heads without lead.

that is all a myth. All the lead does is lubricate the soft valve seats, if the heads have not been rebuilt, there is lead deposits built up in the valve seats, which lubricates them. |

If everything is ground properly and the engine is tuned properly you will have years of trouble free driving without tearing up the heads. |
