Of course it wasnt a "oil related" failure either, I'm sure!

Detonation / pre-ignition
Listen to Chuck...
You cannot always see detonation.. He is correct (IMO).. Step up and test with better fuel, you can always reduce the octane level later and see if it blows up again... Pump gas is now barely adequate to use in your lawnmower, let alone a large bore piston.
(Just my opinion).

yeah, I wasn't implying he was wrong, I just was explaining the whole deal... You guys know way more than I will ever know about this...
I use 93 octane fuel, that is not good enough anymore???

I pulled into a gas station yesterday to get gas for the ski. saw a note "Gas contains 10% ethanol". I drove off and went somewhere else. Granted, I dont know how much ethanol is in regular gas if any, but I went to a BP instead of the Kangaroo station where you dont know what kind of gas you are getting.

I think I remember supertune posting on here somehwere about that...yes, it does kill a bit of performance..
i got non-ethanol gas a couple of times on my drive back from mich and the truck "seemed" to have a bit more power

I found that out at Tierra, both mine ran like crap since they arn't jetted for it. It also will absorb more water and possibly cause issues in the carb from setting. So far the Seattle area is ethanol free, but that may change as well.:17:

you have to rejet for that ********???
Perhaps just make adjustments, the ethanol has less btu's than gasoline and makes less power. I had a hesitation and didn't want to fool with the adjusters.

I AM GOING TO AGREE.. I have bult hundreds of race motors(granted for cars) but to break that ring landing only takes one good detonation.
