 here are more pics of the part.....

 I still have to machine in the O-ring groove in the top.......going to
 Real Seal tomorrow to pick some up but cannot pop in the grooves until I
 know the dims, that will take a couple of days, but it is getting done...

 there is some hand die grinding at the port bend transition inside that
 , be honest I do not have time to do....just some blending, not much,
 anybody could do it.

 I made 10 and will send soon....


 You probably heard Dave Lenard made an off field landing in San Marcos
 on Mission Blvd.  Made news here...all is good..I gather engine
 quit............

 Mission Road or Mission Blvd? He is going to catch it from his wife.

 Looks like this is a rx-8 specific part; that flat vertical mounting
 pad on the side of the water pump is sadly missing from the 13b.  I
 don't suppose the rx-8 water pump would fit on a 13b end housing??
 Really liking the inlet / outlet part...

By the way -- aren't the tapped holes for thermal probes on the wrong
face of the part?  Looks like they are tapped for a type J
thermocouple.  I believe such thermocouples would interfere with a
slide throttle in the position the tapped holes are.  If I'm right, I
think the probes would be better tapped into the face shown in img
1720.

Those holes you see get flush pipe plugged as they give access to the socket
head 8 mm mounting screws. It is a tricky part and there are several
versions. It was hard to design and make with half a dozen version.
The holes for the temp sensors and pressure taps are up
to you but the best places for them are perpendicular to the
surface adjacent to and parallel to the slide throttle.
Also another places is the bottom surface.
