Question Need answers anyone?

Is putting 100% gas in your 8 bad when you replaced all plugs, wires, and coil packs?

If you mean gasoline without 10-15% Ethanol added, then no it isn't bad as long as it's 91 octane or better.

I think we need a "somebody told me" thread for things random people will imagine about rotaries.

You got that right some guy called "js000456" said that and had me worried and started talking alot of nonsense about running to rich and it could cause your engine to shoot oil out of the pipes an ruin your apex seals but in reality it doesent it just means you got a oil leak somewhere an you need to get it inspected... apex seals dont hold oil is what my buddy told me

When it shoots oil out of the pipes, it's an indicator that one or more of your hydraulic lifters has collapsed.
