responsble for the hard surfacing on the aluminum housings on the OMC single rotor engine.  i told
him what we needed for the mazda 13b engines and he thought they could do the side housings for
about $150.00 each. the al rotor housing on the OMC is coated with tungsten carbide, the side
housings with molybdumin and something we have not identified yet.  on the two engines i have
there was a little wear on the side housings and none on the rotor housing, i was impressed.   he
lives in milwaukee  his name is  jerry jenkins    datasphere   414-781-6632         sorry i did
not send this sooner.      keep that nose down,  walt.

Walt, we are hard anodizing our housings. No coatings of any kind. We are using the stock rotor housings
so no need for anything there.
