    Default Winter Repair - 418" Turbo Mustang - E85

    Well, it seems that I have hurt the motor after 6 summers of fun. I have been very happy with this combination!

    Cylinder # 6, 7 and 8 all leaked pretty high. 6 and 8 leaked 80%......yikes.

    Not sure when I hurt it, but you couldn't tell any issues....it was still just as fast hurt as it was not.

    Motor should be out next weekend.

    It's possible, but the tune was rich. I think it was timing, but also thinking injector issues due to the feed line breaking down. I marked all injectors and will flow them to confirm.

    yes, its a stock lightning truck block.

    switching to a better block would give me insurance, but the trans would be the next in line to blow. (AOD-e)
