Rebuilding engine

Hmmm, maybe I'll check into the RX-8 stuff then anyway. Thanks for the heads up!
And one of my friends was suggesting cryo treating and shot peening the internals but I'd never heard of that before. Maybe I'll look into it for this time instead of nitrading, or maybe in addition to. I'd like to go all out on this one (I mean, short of getting the RB all aluminum engine lol), but I have to see what kind of funds I'm looking at and if I can get it all done before DGRR. As bad as I want to make DGRR this year, I don't want to compromise this build for it.

Well the corner seals I was talking about being ground down were pretty bad, and they were on the corners of the rotors that had some marking too but I never mentioned the rotors in the first post so no bad on you. I'll post up pics tonight so you can see what I mean. It looks like a file was dragged across them.

I'm not premixing, and I've only been running the OMP adapter for a short time, about 2 to 3 months or so. On a side note, I think I'm going to try to reroute my OMP lines this time so I can use the Mikuni pump, not sure how much difference that would make. Anyway, I've thought about premixing and I did it but only one time I think back in 08, but I've always worried about eventually clogging the fuel pump with the oil, or at least degrading flow. Although I don't like getting no oil during decel, that's not cool lol.
