On other thing;  just bought a 87 RX-7 car that had been sitting for
several years. Any hints, short of teardown, to make sure the seals are
free and if stuck how to free up?

You got me. Unless of course it is an RPI engine. Jon, have you ever heard
of these guys? Dr. Claude Geles PhD, Michael Devaud and Carlo Cesa.

Rumor has it if you soak it in auto transmission fluid for a week
it might free it up. Best to just tear it down. It is much
easier than it looks once you get the nut off of the flywheel.
