NO, I used my Alky injection kit on several of my Turbo cars for YEARS. If anything it helps keep the motor clean. I've taken a few motors apart and the difference in carbon deposits is amazing.

The methanol should evaporate quite quickly. And not harm any seals.

In our dragsters we run methanol and it is very common to drain meth out of the crankcase along with the oil. I doubt that if you were running meth injection you would have a problem but 100 percent methanol will pass much more than regular fuel. For one you need more meth than gasoline to make the engine run and second in a alcohol engine your compression would be much higher than gasoline. my.02
