Hardened valve seats

[Pete]

Curious if the flathead six 226 engines had hardened valve seats from the factory?

Chrysler flathead six engines had them, so no worries about running unleaded fuel. Wondering if the Willys were the same...

Do you run lead additive in yours?

I cant say that they were hardnend from the factory, but here is a link to some for sale that says it fits all 226 flathead Willys motors.

According to WillysAmerica the 226 valve seats were not hardened.
