My motor on E85...
#16
I took a peek inside my motor with a boroscope, and it looked the same. Mine has been on E85 for about a year and a half now, and looks almost identical to yours.. The only thing I dont like is that I am still getting that pesky black gunk buildup on the tips of my injectors.

We recently pulled a customers BlueMax 1250cc injectors that have been on E85 and they where fine as well.

Just posting a cross reference to the thread about E85 possibly gunking up the injectors.

I wasn't expecting the pistons to look so good. I had a week or so where I had some audible det but my knock CEL light never came on and it never registered knock. Then I pulled the plugs and they looked like jewelry. I was expecting the pistons to look the same way.

Once I get the motor back together I am going to look into it with more detail...

I'm thinking it might be possible that the condition worsened to the point where coolant in the mix might cause detonation as well. Would coolant in the cylinder change harmonics so knock is not detected?
Bryan let us know how the head work goes and how badly it was off. Did you say you had head decked last time you had motor apart?
