Yes we did Chuck. We have some serious piston issues and upon teardown my cylinders are rusted badly. It's fuel related believe it or not. I'm a little stumped. We won't be using that fuel anylonger.

No we weren't using that fuel for break-in. Too expensive to waste :-D
This was Torco Mach 118. I was warned about this happening and ignored it. This is the exact problem that I was warned about to the very finest detail.... I will NEVER use this fuel again.

How 'Long' Chuck?
Engine sat for about 2 weeks after initial run. All the rings were frozen to the cylinder walls upon teardown.
When I was warned about it, I blew it off thinking full of bolony, had a water leak, etc etc....
Well, we had no water leak.

Actually that is what I was using... the NOS stuff. I got it for free from Torco to try out, so I figured I'd waste the free fuel for testing the car.... It's not a real big deal, I'll have it fixed in a week or so but the fuel has to go. I think it'll get burned up in the dirt bikes this weekend 8)

I stopped using that stuff when I seen the bottom of the 55 gallon stuff. Like you I was warned as well till I seen the bottom of the drum and what my fuel filter looked like. I switched to VP-N2O and their fuel was clean clean clean... << Believe it or not.. Ramchargers has the best pricing on that fuel!!

You can call VP directly in Terra Haute IN.Torco has had alot of shit fuel for the last 3 years or so. I would look for them to go bankrupt at the end of the year when everybodys money is do.

The stuff don't even smell right. I'm afraid to put it in the dirt bikes!!!
Probably good weed killer. :-D Pour it in the driveway cracks.

as UnderDogg is not here I will have to give todays, gardening tip of the day.Chris Uratchko said:
plain old white vinegar works fantastic for killing weeds in the driveway & it cost a fraction of "round up" or any of those other off the shelf race fuels.
OK, now back to your regularly scheduled hot rod stuff.
