Hey Paul,
I'm going to start disassembling my 20B tomorrow, so if the rotor housings
are OK, I want to send them to you for P-Porting, sealing plates w/ SS
tubes, etc. Hopefully I will know for sure within a couple of days, provided
I am able to split the e-shaft without a huge ordeal.
As I plan to take on another 20B project, I was remembering back to the
last one I rebuilt about 7 years ago. Back then, there was a "metering pump"
available from someone that allowed us to inject 2 cycle oil from an
external tank (like a boat) so that we wouldn't have to mix. Do you know if
that is still available from someone?

That was Richard Sohn.

Richard's device works very well but if it were me I would mix because Mazda used silly
small nylon lines on the oil squirter's and they get old, brittle and fail.
If it were me I would have made them out of steel brake line tubing.
Also the oil injector one way air sucking valves fail. There are a lot of old rotary
engines in junk yards due to failed oil injection lines. Mixing it distributes the oil
better in the rotor housings. Several years worth of RX8 engines died young due to not
enough apex seal oil.

Metering Pump Adapter for Wankel Engine.

Description.
Wankel engines such as the one used in the MAZDA RX7 sports car
need oil in the combustion area for lubricating the metal seals.
Most stock engines use a metering pump pumping a small amount of
engine oil from the oil pan into the intake manifold and/or
directly into the combustion chamber. Engine oil is designed to
lubricate sleeve bearings and carry heat from the engine
interior to some cooling areas. In the RX7 the heat is removed
from the oil in an oil cooler. When engine oil is getting into
the combustion chamber, it only is burning partially, leaving
some unburned deposits behind. These deposits can build up and
reduce engine performance.
One obvious method of preventing this is to disconnect the
metering pump altogether and mix two-stroke oil to the gasoline
like some older two-stroke engines require. With this method it
has been demonstrated that two-stroke oil is an effective
lubricant and there is no build up of combustion residues.
The Metering Pump Adapter, as offered by PCV Technologies takes
the solution one step further in allowing to still useing the
stock metering pump but supply it with two-stroke oil.
With the Adapter installed, all that is needed is a small oil
tank with two-stroke oil, connected to the Metering Pump
Adapter. The oil level in the tank should never be less then 6"
above metering pump.
Oil consumption is approximately 1/100 of fuel used.
