PS, adding the oil to the fuel may deter or alter the intended

purpose/properties of the lead scavenging additive properties of the
additive too.  But remember, people running their rotaries at higher rpm
(via PRSU's and using 100LL) may not be affected by adding oil at all
though.

Perry, I snipped this to mention something about oiling. Too much oil will cause the engine to run
HOT. If you are pre-mixing and pumping this may be your problem.
2 cycles also have this problem. When Kawasaki was building the 3 cylinder 2 cycles they had a
problem with the little Mikuni oil injector pumps. When running
better quality injector oil they were just too rich. We had a rash of new bikes seizing. The shops
and customers believed the old saw about running more oil for break-in.
The oil displaces a little gas in the mixture and also burns hot. Too much oil is NOT good. In the
RX 3 racing sedan we ran about 75:1 - 100:1 pre-mix only and never had any trouble. Check your oil
mix. This could also account for your very hot tan ports. Bill Jepson
