Paul,

A friend passed me a short but interesting article from the Jan. 04
issue of the SAE Journal by Jack Yamaguchi which discusses some of the
manufacturing process for the Renesis engine. It also reveals some of
the changes made from the 13B. If you can't easily get a copy I could
FAX it (but it might not copy very well) or I'll snail mail it. Most
interesting was the change to a trapezoidal cross section for the side
seals because the 13B style side seals were breaking with the all side
port configuration.

I'll ask Jack if we can republish it here.
