Regarding fuel, I run my 1850 on super unleaded because it was orginally specified to use 99 octane. Because the mileage my car does is low, the extra cost doesn't bother me. I haven't tried it on standard pump 95 grade. As others have said the cylinder head should be fine as alloy heads must already have steel inserts for the valve seats.
Sorry, above I should have said I run mine on straight super unleaded, as above.
Ok thanks guys. At least now I know, In other news, think I've just bought another 1850 !!! This one's been laid up since 1986 in a dry stored garage......... !!!
Got any photos?

Doesn't look too bad after 34 years in there.

I wonder if that came for the same dealer as PRO324R, a Sprint I used to own, now being restored by Dave Poth...

It may well have done !!! She does need both cills replacing, probably a front valance and both front wings and the inner arches will need some attention too.
