It's no problem running 2-3% oil in a glow engine if the big end have roller(needle) bearings...people have done so for years.
If you modify those gassers to run on methanol, usually only a carb swap, and run it on 2-3% oil, it will fry on the first or second flight. That is because gasoline is made from oil, and actually has some lubricity from small amounts of oil, and the large numbers of differant molecules. Methanol has very little lubricity and is has the same molecule, so they tend to pack together. You have to increase the oil content to about 10% on the gassers when running alcohol.
