I bought my S1 2 years ago (just before the factory closed). I have been using unleaded and adding the additives, but I am starting to worry about valves burning out. I have read the Haynes manual and the Steve Heath bible about the identification letter that should be on the block, but cannot find any trace of a letter. Does anyone know whether it is possible to tell from the engine number whether it has unleaded suitable cylinder heads?

The hardened unleaded versions are stamped in the centre of the cylinder head exhaust flange. It will either be D or E.

Hi
Those would be the letters I cannot make out or even find!
