The blonde is my wife and that'd be the only crack I smoke....
Bacon curtains sizzlin'
Hate to jump into a thread but I had a bad experience recently with 116 leaded race gas and motor oil. I have a jug of grey watery junk in my garage that used to be Mobil 1 synthetic 10W30. It got that way in 500 miles of driving with about 10 quarter mile passes all on Sunoco 116 leaded. Engine only had about 1000 miles on it at the time. To make maters worse I did not discover it until the car had sat for about 5 months. I actually had rust spots on top of my oil filter and on the dipstick. I changed the oil and filter and switched back to regular gas, and then E85, and have had no more problems but I for sure look at the oil very often now.I think that alcohol has blurred your vision?
After 20 passes with 116 octane leaded gas, my oil is black and contaminated, and will be glad to send it if you will use it in that BBC, and I will also send the grey crud I remove from my oil filter housing as well. :biggrin:
Too bad you could NOT let his comment slide, as it points out your lack of knowledge and experience, except for what you do on one race car.
Leaded gasoline was probably gone from the pumps before you matured, or you would have seen what residue and crud it leaves in the engine oil pan, valve covers and elsewhere even on street cars. On forced induction cars there is much more compression gases pushed into the crankcase which greatly accelerates oil contamination.
Stick around and maybe you can learn something about race cars that burn leaded gasoline!
