wow, that brings back memories, my first bike was a C15 exactly like that one, bought it around 1982 for about £25, changed the engine three times as I kept destroying them Confused

I still say that engine would have run as-is if you got fuel and electricity into it.

Looks like there is a seperate valve seat on the exhaust valve from your pictures anyway. Experience of many friends running old brit bikes says two things. 1) Valve recession on unleaded fuel is not generally very severe and is very slow if it happens at all. 2) It doesn't cost any more to have a hardened seat fitted AFTER recession has happened.

They all stopped using lead additives because they clag up the engine with hard mineral deposits and just started running on unleaded as standard. Just keep an eye on the exhaust tappet, if it keeps tightening, THEN consider sending the head away for a new seat.

Non-EP grade gear oil was often green in colour.

If you haven't already tried it, look into "wellseal" gasket compound which you can apply with a fine paintbrush.

Also, bonded seal washers (also known as Dowty washers) are a miracle of modern technology which allow anywhere oil might leak out around a threaded fitting to remain totally oiltight at a fraction of the torque used on a copper or aluminium crush washer. They are also re-useable. Fit them on all your drain plugs and oilway banjos.
