It's cool, the only wet blanket for me, is if the motor blows up...
The thing is, afai understand it, alkey burns cooler, and slower, because it has less energy in it than gasoline, since it is already partially combusted with the extra atom of oxygen. I don't understand how less pressure, and colder temps would break the pistons.
How did they fail? Ring lands breaking, or a hole punched in them?
From what I undertand alcohol is a harsher solvent for most plastics / rubbers, and doesn't lubricate as well as gasoline.
A force fed sho would be fun, but I am dead set on keeping it na for now. I just can't justify a grand for swapping out the pistons unless they fail first
