Has anyone actually gutted out (Cylinders, rings, etc) an engine run on WVO. I've always been curious what things look like and if any different than on straight #2 Diesel.

I noticed I pulled a glow plug the other day and it was fuzzy. I'd run about 2 hours of WVO through the engine (unheated other than a hot day and hot engine compartment. The injectors, and lines were so hot you couldn't touch them for long).

I could be that it was just an old and dirty glow plug. But it literally was fuzzy (strings of black junk on them).






on a side note... my WVO containers after they dry out are sticky. I've never noticed a sticky container of diesel after it had dried out.
