im really interested in this but i have one major question. since e85 is a more corrosive fuel how do the pistons rings and walls hold up? im a ford tech and in our alternative fuel classes we were taught that the e85 can score pit and cause abnormal wear to the pistons rings and cylinder walls? anyone noticed this? or are yo only recommending running this with completely built and forged internals?
