[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 223460, member: 4391"] 1) Yes that is a concern. Hoses are easy to source, and I think I'll be OK with all of the gaskets. Any original seals may need to be replaced with new seals, likely made of a rubber that will withstand the ethanol better than those made 30+years ago. 2) Yes it will. I'm not concerned about using pure Castor oil, but may still use the Amsoil Saber, as it allows up to 100:1 mixes, and is still an ester based synthetic. The other option is to install a VRO system, to get the benefits of the variable oiling system. And they aren't as unreliable as people like to claim. Ethanol will prevent pre-ignition. Because of that, you could mill the head(s) a good deal for a big bump in compression and still get away with the current timing. (where as otherwise you would have to retard timing, and run premium fuel). An engine setup for E85, will likely have more power than one that burns gasoline. [/QUOTE]
