Yeah, I think highly of them also, but they also helped me with my last three rotaries. I didn't think it was that serious, but possibly a rebuild is in order, the engine though, has only 145k miles origional. But, no, the care is meticulous! there is a small dent on the driver side front fender, and a VERY small tear in the driver seat shoulder support (that my wife could sow easily) The origional paint is even still glossy, and this isn't a 2002 fresh from the dealer.

Of course I wouldn't be all that shy to having a porting done and possibly slapping on some MazdaSpeed 2mm ceramic Apex!

Yea it always goes that way. A compression check might indicate low compression... that is where I would start, I am sure you will get a hundred better suggestions tomorrow when everyone gets on.



Sorry I wasn't of more help.

Did you see Greg's motor? It looked like somebody took a cut-off wheel to the water seal groove.
