[QUOTE="1320 Junkie, post: 15102052, member: 96955"] Also do your research on e85 compatible oils (basically Alcohol) that wont break down and cause a rotating assembly failure. I just did a write up in the the other gt500 section in regards to my rod bearings failing due to this exact issue. I was using 5w50 redline oil and only driven on weekends for short trips around town on E85. Basically you need to get the car up to temp often or moisture will get collected in the oil and ruin bearings (my cyl #1 bearing actually had rust on it). My oil had approx 2000 miles on it at the time of failure. Theres more to E85 than meets the eye...good thing i learned my lesson on a motor that was being built even better this winter anyways.
