Looking good.  That is pretty clean engine.

An RX-7 is like having a slut as a gf! She will love you, but she will also screw around with the guy at the parts store, most of the local cops, your insurance agent, your apex seals, your bank account and your credit card!!!

Thanks.  Myles is an awesome friend and good engine builder.  He is a Mazda tech down in Savannah, and does most of the rotary rebuilds for Mazda in that area of the SE.  He learned from our buddy Carlos and then under the big rotary guys in Atlanta like Mazmart.

I've been sick this week, so not much has been done.  All I did was mock up the dual oil coolers.  I have about $300 in the setup total.

Rick Engman at Mazmart lapped the plates this week and my buddy Myles is doing the hand polishing.

Finally got the engine back and started assembling what I had.  Just mocking up fuel lines for now since I don't have the gaskets for the UIM & LIM...he shipped the motor and forgot the parts so they are in the mail.
