I've contacted the company who did the rebuild... I've sent them all pictures and video (you can see them all at http://rx-7.inside.lv/Endoskopija/) and they agreed that it is the case the warranty covers... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png The only bad thing is they are located in UK https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png, but I live in Latvia (Eastern Europe...) So I need to pull the engine and transport it about 2500 km to their works and 2500 back... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png My idea was to drive my RX-7 to their works, leave it there for a week and then get it back in working order, but they set the price for engine pull and reinstall at 750 pounds (nearly $1500)!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png



Stupid situation, isn't it?

One more interesting fact: rebuilding my engine a year and a half ago they used one piece side seals (like mazda OEM seals, but made of their own material). Now they are offering only double side seals - their own construction. I wonder if they would engineer new type of side seals and leave them as the only option now, if old type was performing good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif Maybe those side seals was the bottleneck in their technology and I am not the only one who suffered from similar defect?

another case of somebody not clearancing sideseal to port closing on a large streetport. I see they did not bevel the closing edge of the port causing the sideseal to get chewed up.....
