C11 is faster, fog motor with WD-40 after engine cools down use starter button open throttle blades crank it over for about 10 seconds works good in Florida.

Thanks Kenny, I had been warned about it, didn't realize it would be this bad.

Todd, we see some rust issues with C12 if the engine hasn't been run for a while. C11 is a 'drier' fuel, for lack of a better term, so things can rust even quicker.

Fogging with Marvel Mystery Oil, ATF, Stabil fogging oil, etc. works well. -Al

Thanks Al, Keith Bennet warned me about it up front, I didn't fog it. I'll have to fog it or change fuels all together.

Sunoco fuels are better in that aspect.Petroleum based.Wd40 will dry up over a couple of months.

Caps are off the rods, rings on the pistons and hope to have the block and heads in the washer today/tomorrow.
