I'm actually driving my 2.5 PF Coupe regularly, as much as 3k mi/ year using unleaded premium. Should I be worried about the valve seats?

Greg,

Lancia used very high quality & hard valve seats. I wouldn't expect a problem. Check you valve adjustments several times a year for a while. If the valves lash tightens up every time you check it, you most likely have a problem.

Please consider the Pittsburgh Gran Prix & the ALC Fall Reunion.

Thanks. I can't make the Grand Prix, but I might get to Rhinebeck in September. I take the car to the Berkshire house in the summer, which isn't very far.
