A post for the alcohol pollutes your oil crew.

PBR, you say if you learn how to do it properly you don't have issues.... but don't mention the proper way.. I will never run alch but am a curious boy.. what is the secret?
I see guys saying you have to have a second pump with normal fuel to run through and get the motor hot to burn out any bad **** in the oil and clean out any alcohol in the system normally..

P.S. i have also seen those guys pull valve covers off and it looks like a mcdonalds shake machine exploded in there

I did a post on running alcohol awhile ago but I’ll hit on it again.

Unlike race gas heat is your friend, not your enemy. When I get to the track and unload I’ll try to take a ride around the track using my lean-out valve, fan, and water pump to get it as close to 200 degrees as I can to let the engine heat soak. My lean out valve is simply a 3/8 hose fitting in my one inch spacer or rear of manifold with 3/8 rubber line running to a 1/2 ball valve by my shifter. Opening this up assists in building heat by leaning out the engine. The guy I buy my alcohol from adds upper end lube to my barrel when I pick it up. This helps lubricate the engine. I run a BG400 pump and number 10 black fiber line to a tee then two number 8 lines to the carb. My carb manufacturer of choice is APD. Using my water pump I get my heat up to 170 degrees before heading for the water box. By time I hit the time slip booth my water pump and fan it turned off for my drive to my pit spot and not turned on till im
Heading up for my next pass. Heading into winter after race season I fog my engine with transmission fluid slowly dumping it into the carb while it’s running. I go through my carb every spring and change out my carb floats every one to two years max. After two years of racing like I do they will be fuel soaked before the third year. Jetting is probably your most important area. I have O2’s on my RacePak from my pump gas years but egt’s tell the story with alcohol. Readings during a pass will be over 1100 degrees. Any lower and you are rich. Rich kills your oil and engine. My son ran alcohol three years before me as I said I would never run it. He taught me a lot. Any other questions let her rip.
