Spark plug any one? (Yes Bull, just one, the other ones on the bench, you can come out of the corner now, your forgiven, we know it was just excitement that clouded you mind lol)
I’m surprised by the amount of cross hatch is still present!!

Anyone care to guess at what the rust color ring on the cylinder wall is in this picture??
Car is in a warm heated garage, temperature stays stable constantly. I had to turn engine over a tad to get the piston to the bottom of the stroke to see it good. That’s a damn rust ring!!!! Car was shut off hot after a long run maybe 3 weeks ago, on gasoline too. Just imagine what’s going on sitting outside in the cold warm cold warm cold warm for weeks or months on end of storage in a non climate controlled area?????? Now I know long ago engjne builder told me to drown my Capri with oil drizzled into the carb and choke stall it with a gulp at the end. No wonder 20+ years of storage like such saved it. I guess dousing it in the intake with stabil storage stuff might be a good idea???
Slow down again, re read post, been on gasoline for a few tanks now after running it completely out of E85 at the pump (yea, was a close one, ran out while sitting in line, coated to the pump, luckily it was a down hill slop to the pumps!!) That rust ring is where the piston was sitting for the last 3 weeks before I turned the crank about 15-20 degrees to get the piston to go down to the bottom of the bore. That’s just from the moisture that was in the air of the last gulp it took before shutting it off, hot too! I’m surprised myself to see such. I’ll be doing a leak down test on all cylinders in near future, I bought this scope just for this inspection. I’ll be looking for this witness ring in other cylinders but my guess is I’m not going to see it in all as the first time the rings wipe past the spot they sat in for the past 3-4 weeks as I turn the engine over by hand to TDC of each cylinder for the leak down test the rust dust ring is going to get wiped away by the rings. It was interesting to see and make one think about what happens during real long term storage though.
Well brought the car out on 305s for one last attempt. I ran the base tune from 2 weeks ago when I was playing with a few things. This was a base tune. I still could add more but I was also wanting some comparisons between launch control and foot break. The foot break won by a smidge. I’ll work on the launch control portion some more.
da somewhere around 22 to 2500. Humidy 80 something percent. Not a bad pass. I was happy.
Ya e85.
only reason I think the 305s hooked was because the sun was out and 80. I will order my 315s I guess.
looked over the logs they were clean. Next Saturday in mid 50s. I will try and make it but only time for 2 passes maybe.
So the car on this pass above pulled 2 degrees through the whole pull and 4 in spots. The car had tons of cool down time.
I may try to bleed the supercharger coolant just to be sure.
but why is meth injection not more popular on these things?
