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... The only bad thing is they are located in UK , 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... 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)!!!



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 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.....
