Bobby, I looked into using TCP that is sometime used in aircraft engines to
scavenge lead.  However, after reading the health hazards (made my hair
stand up) I decided I would rather not use it.

Would a lead scavenging additive like the Subi guys are running help
this problem.

Ed, you might try burning the lead out with an OA torch.  Maybe try a
very lean flame.  Keep the center cone of the flame off the metal
casing, and don't to let it get too hot.  The platinum probably won't
even feel the heat.  It should work to burn off carbon, too.  Knew an
old guy who used to bake his plugs if they ever got flooded.
