Thanks for the inspiring pix of the RX-8 engine Leon.  That waterpump setup
is WONDERFUL!
Any chance I could get you to post a closeup  and a description of the new
crank angle sensor?  It looks like it might be a 60 minus 2 tooth setup but
can't tell for sure.  Do you know where the sensor is relative to the gap
when the crank is at #1 TDC?
  I'd like to have the Renesis version of the EC2 ready as soon as the first
order comes in.

Tracy
