Most ford ( 9n-2n-8n) left the factory with hard valves seats... ( the war time models may not have had hardened intake seats.. but that was just right around 42.. from there and on you should be good to go..).
And i wouldn't worry about putting anything in the gas as a lubricator... Like 'lead substitue'.. you are just lining the pockets of the retail outlets. I know some people add diesel to prevent spark knock ( preignition).. and that was what tetraethyl lead was really for anyway.. octane modifier... fords were using lo 70's octan gas and did fine.. lowest you can find nowadays this side of the border is about 87.. so you are good to go.
I fyou feel like you have to add something to the gas.. drop in a couple ounces of marvel myster oil per tank ( won't do much ).
