Flash Lube

[joe seinfeld]

Might be a stupid question but ive got a couple of flash lube the valve saver stuff sittin at home because i had a car on gas and got rid of the thing.

I now have a vn v6 on straight petrol, just wondering if putting in a bit of the flash lube couldn't hurt?

Its just sittin here on my desk otherwise

Thanks

lol thought it might be like that. Anyone know a bit about the stuff and whether its really not that great mixin it in with ya petrol? ive seen those photos of before and after type shots of the cylinders with and without it but then again whos to say they just arent photoshopped

I use it in my 83 VH and 75 HJ

As far as i know,
it does the job lead used to do and lubricates the valves and upper cylinder,
it is recommended for cars designed to run on leaded petrol or running gas that need the extra lube up top.

do you know if the Buick was designed to run on leaded petrol?

I could be wrong, but all commodore motors from the vk efi onwards are designed for ulp.

Flash lube gets rid of pinging really well in my 82 vh but you wouldnt need it in your vn.

lpg burns the valves so that's what the flashlube kit is for. it is not necessary on a petrol engine that was designed to run on ulp.
