She runs very well but at $8 per gallon it get expensive. Will 110 hurt the motor after time?

Bill Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Do you have a compression tester? If so get a reading from both cylinders and post it up. If your at 160psi or above you should run 110 oct. Quote

I hope that I will be able to return helpful information to other people one day. Thanks. Quote
black sunshine Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Welcome :beer: Once you find out where you are compression-wise, you can buy different chambers to swap out in that head. This will allow you to lower your compression, if needed, to run pump gas. Quote
