Thank you for your answer André.
A stupid question maybe, but if we put a little oil (rapeseed oil for example) in the E85 to oil the valve tails it could work?
Yes it is true that I would like to find a solution so that our cars can work at E85, but hey I do not know much about it is why I turn to you.
It's not a question of lubrication, the hot gases coming out of the exhaust with the alcohol paritally burns the valve stem where it is attached to the saucer raz, the part that is in the guide no problem (I do not have my valves anymore I gave it for a school)
But it is necessary to learn the new engines have valves made in materials more resistant especially sodium hollow valves) this one rests with the alcohol.
Although I guess the E 85 must have been refined to remove its acidic side from the alcohol.
At the accol exclusively there were problems of corrossion of the exhaust pot and the internal parts of the engine, especially the cars that roll only on Sunday and which serve to go to the high mass, then rest in a garage, those who rolls to dry the condensation of engine oil and exhaust is a lesser evil (the cars that smoke white back and the water flows through the exhaust pipe is not very good)
I make one or two 3mm holes in the exhaust pipes at the low point to let the condensation flow.
