It takes no time for the E85 to milk down my Brad Penn oil.
It looks like crap. i run evac system and thats all. there is a tremendous amount of moisture in the motor.

Talking to a few guys at the track who run E85, they are talking about "lean out valves" and running the motor 200 degrees and such. Does not sound good to me.

Is E85 really this difficult? Small Block stroker 418,W-2, roller, drag race set up.




When I ran Ethanol I would let the motor warm up to at least 170* for the water to evapotate. I ran a ball valve and opened it up when I started it to lean it out to get to temp quicker once warmed up I closed it. Lean out the idle on it.
