Subject: (rx7) [3] Interesting Stuff / Reman Engine

I just had a chance to look over the reman engine that I bought
from Mazda. A couple of interesting things:

They have stopped using an oil pan gasket. This one is
sealed with RTV.

It came with updated oil injectors. The injectors themselves
are different, and the injector seats are rubber instead of
brass.

The is a big pink tag on it that says: Use of synthetic oil
will void warranty.

I was surprised at what came on the new engine:

New flywheel
Oil Pan
front cover
water pump (minus pulley)
thermostat housing
All the eccentric shaft pulleys
All new engine-side studs (exhaust/intake manifold)
Primary fuel injector diffusers
Temp sending unit
Aforementioned oil injectors

It definitely has new rotor housings.

The front cover is used, but was cleaned very well.

The oil pan looks like it is new, but could have just
been blasted and repainted.

Can't tell about the end and intermediate housings. Everything
has at least been very well cleaned and repainted.
