I'd use unleaded fuel in all of the above, with the possible exception of the 18R-C, but then again if I had an 18R-C I wouldn't care about it so I'd put unleaded in anyway. Note that some engines will be much happier on premium unleaded (eg 18R-G) but you can probably get away with regular for most of them.

A 2T doesn't need lead because it has hardened exhaust valve seats, as do practically all Toyota engines with alloy heads. Remember Japan had unleaded fuel in the 70's, while we didn't get it until 1986. This means most pre-86 Jap engines are designed for unleaded fuel, but we ran leaded in them because that was all that was available at the time.

agreed. the corolla K motors are fine on unleaded from 1966 onwards. i've run my K motors on PULP for 8 years now. no valve seat problems, even with the abuse they get.

Well it looks like i've opened a can of worms on that one! Just goes to show that we take a lot of things for granted.
