   further to my post in the past hour; how did Mazda install the Pport in
   the LeMans engine?
   BR, Dave McC

   I suspect they were sand cast p-port rotor housings the same as
   Mazda sold
   and still sells for racing use. The two housings on the left in
   this picture are Mazda sand cast p-port rotor housings.
   Expensive.

How expensive??


Matt-

Over a K I thing. Check with Mazdatrix.
