BTW Bruce do you have any more pictures of the OMC engine
   you can upload here? Does the OMC engine run? Is the rotor
   charged cooled? What is the HP rating?

   Also pictures of the P-port engine
   as capturing them from an animation is rather problematic.

   BTW Folks one big advantage of a p-port engines it
   is easy to inspect some of the wear surfaces with a small
   inspection mirror and a flash light. Same goes for the
   apex seal operation. Push on it with your finger and
   see if the apex seal moves in and out.

   Also Bruce if you check the integrity of the cooling
   system by pressurizing it to 25 psi that would give people
   a warmer feeling about the p-port engine.

   ======================================

   Paul,

   I only have a few pics of the OMC and the PP 13B, attached.

   All your suggs are excellent .... just no time to implement.

   I have been working to replace the roof on my home for about 5 months
   (by myself) and I am still not done.
   I now have a monstrosity here in the driveway called a Ford Expedition
   that my friend's daughter ran out of oil.
   Of course they bought the one with the largest engine, 5.4L.
   Basically one has to remove ALL the crap off the top of the engine just
   to get to the two top bell housing bolts. Took me two days just to get
   this far, engine still in the car.

   Blocking off all the coolant passages on the PP 13B so I can pressurize
   would take some time ..... just don't have it right now.
   It appears to have good compression though. Just wish I knew who
   rebuilt it so I could give them a call to get the low down on the
   "provenance" !

   Well that is a start on the OMC pictures.
   Sure would like to see some other views.

   Bruce,

   The easy way to get the two top bell housing bolts out is to use a 4
   foot 1/2 inch drive socket extension and swivel (universal) socket
   from underneath the car.  Usually, you don't have to even lower the
   trans.
