Default RE: Fuel question

I used the white lightning 8% oil 30% nitro in my 1/8 scale buggys. I tried some in an old
.40 that a friend gave me that wouldn't run for more than a few seconds. I put the lightning
in it and got it to run rich. and flew that motor for about 15 flights, still had an occasional deadstick
and the motor would not run when leaned. I tore the motor down and found that the nickel plating
on the cylinder had flaked off. I don't know if the fuel and low oil content killed the motor but I
do know that that is the only fuel it would run on.
