I do think the 800t builds carbon less quickly than any oil ive used which I would expect to be incomplete combustion and washing

I'd say the 800 has a better additive for cleaner internal conditions. R50 has a higher viscosity than 800 off-road so it should also show a clean piston crown but it doesn't.

Imo a piston crown shouldnt be clean. Its a result of being way too rich and not enough load to completely combust the oil and pretty much but a few people on AS and OPE have concluded. Nothin wrong with runnin that rich other than Ben mentioned on AS that being way too rich on the topend will actually wash your lubrication away but I dont have a clue if thats fact. Im not striving to keep a clean piston top because I know its not the normal for a properly tuned 2 stroke

Best I remember 800 was one of the fastest times in Redbull's timed cuts using a 661.

That piston with Dumonde earlier was clean when I put it in. That was a 1/4 tank of cutting cookies with it 20° outside.

I had 50 oz of fuel left. I added about 3/4 oz to it to get to 20:1. May be closer to 16:1. I'll see how it runs tomorrow afternoon.

660 ran on VP 50:1 Its whole life. Not sure on total fuel count but I'll ask.

I only use 93 or 110 octane and both my 660 and 036 pistons are super clean. I've used two liters of 800 and not seeing what you have. Maybe I'm tuned rich but my 660 is at 13600 and the 036 is at 13800. I think the quality of fuel may also determine buildup.
