Martin,

Nigel Beale, who sells the Rotax engines here in th UK, has shown me a head
and valves from a 912 which used 100LL.  Both were heavily contaminated with
yellow lead deposites to the extent that the valves could not operate
properly.  I forget how many hours the engine had done but it is something
you should be aware of.  The engine was designed to operated on unleaded
Mogas.

If you e mail him at skydrive@avnet.co.uk he could probably enlarge upon
this.

Dave
