so to make a long story long, i was playing with a 70-73 rotor housing on saturday, and i noticed it said "TCP" on it. on sunday i happened to look at MY collection of 70-73 rotor housings and ONE says TCP, the other 4 do not.

WTF is TCP?

jeff20b really really really really really wants to know!

Your questions are too difficult..

But I googled TCP and found:

1968-1973 Mazda R100/Familia Rotary

0866

The final member of the 10A family was the 1971 0866. This variant featured a cast-iron thermal reactor to reduce exhaust emissions and re-tuned exhaust ports. The die-cast rotor housing was now coated with a new process: The new Transplant Coating Process (TCP) featured sprayed-on steel which is then coated with chrome. Gross output was 105 hp (78 kW) at 7000 RPM and 135 Nm (99.5 ft.lbf) at 3500 RPM.

Applications:

1972-1974 Mazda RX-3 (Japan-spec)

Maybe thats the same TCP, does the inner surface look different than the standard sleeve?
