Not trying to derail thread, although I have much to say on the topic.
Jayvee man your motor is going be shiny LOL.

I'm not sure if that was a serious question but first you need to understand lambda and how it works. Air fuel ratio of 11.5 on E85 would be EXTREMELY lean considering it's stoich is 9.7:1.

It was a serious question, in terms of looking for an answer.
You can have a reading of 11.5 on a wideband, yet match your correct E85 a/f based on E85 Stoich.
exactly^^
11.5 on e85 is roughly 17.6 if spraying gas.
The change to e80 would richen it up slightly ... dont have a calculator in front of me... not sure what the point of the question is.
BMR Tech are you trying to argue that a change in tune wouldnt be necessary? Of course you are.....being a tune salesman.
:beer:
it can melt because E85 has such a high detonation threshold. But no knock, and and nothing is torched.blame e85. ..... this is why the pistons on this motor look clean and leave no trace of detonation. I've seen pistons melt on e85 without ever knocking.
Your car is new. Only people I ever see w sludge problems are older cars that ran their entire lives on gas, then make the switch. If that had anything to do with this here it would have shown piston or plug damage from fuel blockage.Shit, I took it for gospel. I already went and drained my car and filled up with 93....
20k miles + of E85 here, no gunk.

Not at all. I just used your post lolWas my sarcasm that far off the mark?
The black gunk came from, gas stations that converted to e85. They put the e85 in regular gas tanks, which the e85 stripped (cleaned) all of the shit out of the gas tank, which the people pumped into there cars. The black gunk is something you don't hear about anymore because people got smart and realized what it did and now there are stricter regulations on e85. Thorntons Gas station has e85 safe tanks and pumps at all of there stations. I could go into even more detail but I've must of posted this 20 times now on here.

Ok, I'm lost, so we still don't know what caused the failure, Correct?
Thanks.
we will... Just not as fast as you guys will like. As I said a page or 2 back before it really took off on E85 topic(s) and discussion (which is GREAT!) the heads are being sent out and I will be flow testing the inj soon. Maybe I should before buying a whole new set. I am off for the next entire week with NO KIDS! NO WIFEY! so I may swing by the shop pick em up and run em to BOOSTLAB for testing.
