The Tilton annular clutch cylinder info is interesting.  In the late
80's I swapped an '87 13B with RB Dellorto and custom header into a '78
Porsche 924 (always wanted an RX-7 but I'm 6'5" > no fit).  To simplify
the clutch linkage, a Tilton actuator was installed with slight
machining to make it fit.  The clutch action was smooth and trouble-free
during 50 miles of canyon driving daily.  Great design Paul!
P.S. the car ran great (ran it very hard) for 8 years, 115,000 miles,
kept the engine, it is still under my workbench.

So the engine outlasted the Porsche :-)
