Re: Carbon Build-up causing leaky valve seats on local evos?
If they look like that, and you're running E85, I wonder if you don't have some kind of oil leak or something else getting in your combustion chamber. I run E85, my cylinders aren't shiney new clean, but pretty clean overall. Nothing like that!

Guys, the picture above is my car. 100,000 miles on 93 octane. Never a sign of oil leaking, the head gasket looked perfect.

Yeah but it sounded like he was saying Trevor's was the same, and he was running e85. Did I interpret wrong? |

Yes because we haven't seen inside Trevor's cylinders yet. Regardless he has an exhaust valve leaking and so far no one has had a burnt or bent valve so that really only leaves us with the carbon buildup option.

BP mostly unless I don't feel like driving to one and won't be beating on the car then it's whatever 92 octane is nearby.
