well, you could got through valves or heads... it all depends on the materials used in manufacturing, and how you drive... If you drive short distances and are easy with the olds... not a biggie.

if you keep adding the lead additive, you should be good too and then shouldn't need the seats.

I honestly havn't performed scientific tests personally, but this information is to the best of my knowledge.
