I noticed a tiny bit of this kind of wear on Tracy's 860 hour tip seals.
My only reservation is it might soon get plugged up with
coked crankcaseoil. Too bad two cycle oil will not work in the 
crankcase or will it?

I think there is a guy on the RX7 list from Sweden that is trying this.
Perhaps Hurley could give us some names or email addresses.

BTW Jim Mederer told me he can run up to four ounces per gallon
of two cycle oil before it starts to affect the ignition.
