Thanks for the great report Brian. We learn more from our failures.

Any plans to use two piece or 3 mm apex seals in the rebuild?

Indeed we do, Paul.  Half of my rotary life has been learning from
lousing things up, not paying closer attention, or just plain making
bad judgment calls.  I'm glad none of them have been life-threatening
ones.

His engine is still using the 3-piece 2mm Mazda seals.  We re-used
the old compression seals and springs because they only have about 2000
miles on them.

Speaking of 3mm, we did find a guy here local that's got a jig setup to

cut

3mm grooves on rotors for about $250/pair.  That's not all that bad.  I

can

forward contact information to you guys if you'd like (I doubt you guys
honestly need that, though).

That is three rotors worth or nine slots total or $44.50 per slot
for the new guys. For a turbo that is cheap insurance against
detonation.
