Best Answer

The term "Valve Lead" best describes the amount in degrees in which a valve will open before its desired stroke begins The amount of Valve lead can be influential in the amount of air being drawn into the engine. If the inlet valve is opened before the piston has reached TDC on the exhaust stroke it will increase the amount of air going in for the induction stroke. This is also true if the Exhaust valve is opened before BDC on the power stroke the exhaust gases will get a head start in leaving the cylinder allowing more space for inlet gases to enter.

Why and when was lead phased out of gasoline as an additive?

Tetraethyl lead was phased out of gasoline in the United States starting in 1976 and ending in 1986. Leaded gasoline caused lead to be present in automotive exhaust, which caused an increase in the lead content in people's bloodstream, which tends to reduce I.Q. and increase antisocial behavior. Tetraethyl lead was used as an octane improver, and it also reduced valve seat wear. It damages catalytic converters, which are the primary emission control device in motor vehicles. Catalytic converters and hardened valve seats started being produced in 1975.
