Excessive Deposits on Built Motor running E85
Like you explained I think that is exactly how the deposits formed in your engine. If you had that much leak down in #2 and #4 and consumed at least a quart in 1k your motor had issues.
Glad you got it repaired and hopefully got your injector issues sorted out too. Where you running DW's by chance?

There are several issues that no one is addressing.
1. E 85 DOES not have detergents like regular gas. Its not required per federal law and therefore those that sell it don't add it.
2. E 85 is caustic to rubber. Period. look it up. Unless your tuner replaced all lines with Neoprene or some other suitable fuel line replacement you leaching rubber into the engine which creates lots of gummy crap all over.

The car in this thread uses the same E85 supply as my Evo in the thread I linked to.

Not really an issue in the bay area.
Incorrect. I recently posted this thread to help debunk unfounded statements like what you just made: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/al...years-e85.html

Ok well it's not an issue with deposits then with that supply. I've been using that E85 literally since the day it started selling here.
On another note I had a similar situation running 110 racegas on my Gsr this gunked the intake valve fast, I used some Wynn's combustion chamber cleaner then with a borescope we looked up in there all metal exposed again, the difference in throttle response was noticeable.
