Brian,
        The foaming oil problem is fixed, I just included it as one of the
major problems (or at least I thought it was at the time).  The only
problem remaining to be fixed is the coolant leak.
It turned out I had initially vented the central housing where the
rotors dump their cooling oil.  Without anyother exit, the blow-by gases
occuring at high power settings apparently picked up the foamy oil and
pushed it out the vent. At the suggestion of several folks,  I then
vented the oilpan through the original oil dip-stick hole and the
foaming oil problem went away.  Was a worry while it occured though.

IMHO Ed has another slight little problem and that is his plugs up oil
pan does not go down below the engine far enough so the oil level
in the engine is too high for proper drain back out of the rotors.
This would also help his gear box drain back.
