     To my knowledge nobody has dealt with that. Blow by does not seem

to be a large

     if any  problem in AC use. Not like there is windage on the

crankshaft.

If I recall correctly, Tracy Crook said something about some oil blowing

out of his engine at around 7,000 RPM, and that he was working on correcting
it. It seems that he was having the problem

since he started using the 2.85/1 redrive. If he is having a problem, it

would be good to know how to alleviate it.

Bruce Turrentine cut away part of the breather system on the RX8 engine

Tracy

is using. Here is an illustration of what was cut away.

Paul,
If you look to the right of the housing cut down photo you will see a small
or thin passage which is actually an oil breather line to bottom of the port
opening - I only just discovered this on the later model 13B - which isn't
on the 12a.
Also the massive centre housing expansion centre should alleviate any
blow-by - even with that part of the centre housing removed as it is mainly
a oil filler ( the centre can act as that) and dip stick holder.
Paul where did he run the dip stick ?

What concerns me on the single rotor is what accommodation for an expansion
chamber, oil breather blow-by is provided for.
