For the time being, you can buy lead additive at most auto stores, that you add to the unleaded fuel. Down the road, if the engine needs to be rebuilt, then the head can have hardened valve seat cut in and the valves changed. This will allow you to run unleaded all the time without the additive. The lead acted as a cushion between the seats and valve. Another tip would be to run 100% gasoline, instead of an ethenol blend. This will prevent damage to the carburetor and fuel pump.
