Installing valve seats... 140-160

Lead isn't soluble in an iron/carbon lattice. All metals are crystalline in the solid state.
Edge dislocations have nothing to do with it. What valve burning is caused by a lack of lead is produced by ionic transfer of the seat iron to the valve face, and then into the exhaust. Then the seat gets too wide, and boom, radial burning. That's what the SAE says, and they are smarter than all of us.
Lead CAUSES valve burning, by notching the seat.
