= Hey there Andrew.

Thanks mate, good thinking. 
I found this schematic. 
If I tap in and check the pressure leaving the engine (pump-relief valve) it would give me an idea if I have a problem there which is my hunch.
The Schematic suggests that I should see about 150 psi at 2800 rpm. Though I read a forum where Lynn Hanover said the lowest pressure pump bypasses were set at 110 psi.

My cooler is a 44 row Mocal which I=E2=80=99m thinking will = present lower restriction than the Renesis single cooler setup.
I do filter all oil after the cooler as opposed to the OEM setup which only filters oil going into the engine bearings and eccentric.
I use a race filter so hopefully not to higher restriction but maybe higher due to the above mentioned.

I did do the thermal pellet delete as you did but I didn=E2=80=99= t mod the eccentric jets.

I=E2=80=99m wondering if I might be able to remove the pan = and then the front cover while in the aircraft. It will be tight, but prefer to not disassemble th prop, gearbox and many other systems.
With the pan off I can check a number of key things.
1. The thermal pellet delete. Via the hole in the eccentric shaft. Should be blocked by the aluminium piece Tracy = provided.
2. The front relief valve spring and cracking pressure using a spare front cover Ive got.
3. The Rear relief valve cracking pressure.
4. Maybe even the o-ring seal 

I know I need to be very careful of not messing up the components on the front of the eccentric. I do need to understand this properly before  remove the front = cover.
My money is still on the gasket/o-rng seal between the front iron and cover being damaged at first start up.

Thanks mate.

Hi again Finn

A qualification. Mazda used a lower oil pressure for the Renesis Series 1 than previous engine series, and then went back to higher pressure for the series 2 Renesis.
My understanding is that the thermal pellet in the front end of the Eccentric Shaft, when cold is open allowing the oil to dump into the pan rather than when warmed up it closes and the oil in the eccentric now squirts into the rotors cooling them.
I believe this is about emission control at startup and that for racing and our use, better to delete this thermostat and block permanently this path meaning oil is always cooling the rotors. =
If the thermal pellet fails, it does so open and so stopping the rotor oil cooling. Not a good thing and can cook the oil o-rings on the rotor sides.

Open to being corrected.
