Doh!
My j-spec kind of looks like that on the inside but it's just oil/carbon/sludge/atf build up on the rotor housings, well at least I hope thats all it is. If not then
But then I'll get to make some real hp

i took off the twin turbo assembly took a few minutes. man i hate those turbos. well i spun the engine before by hand i hear compression. this engine has 3mm hurley seals and a street port from a rx7 shop in NY. well i look inside the engine through the exhaust port there are gouges on the rotor housings big long scrapes. this engine had previously detonated and was rebuilt by said shop. this engine only has 50 miles on it! the rotors and apex seals look fine so far! those hurley seals when they break aren't supposed to damage the engine at all.... i think they may have swapped old housings in ???? or reused the old junk housings ??? i am not sure. i have some pictures but its pretty dark outside. all the apex seals are still there one rotor has a small scratch but that is normal i think. anyway i hope nobody ever goes to this rx7 shop,i already tell people to stay away now i have PROOF! anyway pix coming in a minute

Vosko that is the sloppiest engine I have seen in a while. Vosko I understand you don't want to put this shops name out there but a shop doing this type of garbage should be exposed. If, we are supposed to set a standard, garbage like that engine you bought should not be exceptable. Just my opinion.What was the shops name????????????????

T&R Racing in NYC. i know the history of this engine. it was originally a brand new mazda reman they took it apart ported it put 3mm seals. it ran in the car for a few weeks the engine blewup(what a surprise). brought it back to them paid to have it rebuilt again and it ran 50 miles then it crapped it out. my friend wasted so much time and money in the car he decide to part out the whole car and give up on rx7's......
at this rate. i might just buy a reman when the time comes and use this engine as a core!
