I wonder if the oil injection system in the RX -8 cars was/is injecting too much oil. I'm running my Renesis with Shon's alternate oil adapter and his manual oil metering adjuster. At max. oil setting I used 2 oz. oil while burning less than 1/2 gal. of fuel. Oil was being spit out of the intake past the throttle body! I now have the oil injection rate set at about 1/4 inch from the minimum oil injection rate. It probably is close to 3/4 oz. oil/ gal. This is the same amount of oil Tracy is mixing with the fuel. I'm not flying - still ground running the engine while working on the cowl and inlet system.

Dave,
Yeah, that sounds like the one. This is the part I was paying attention to:
"Mazda has a remanufacturing center in North Carolina that will rebuild faulty engines and return them to service."
Recalls are always a downer for the manufacturer but if there was a flood of
Renesis engines that were pulled...

And there all right here in North Carolina 8*)
