What I was told during the sales transition was that RX-7Specialties had exchanged the rotors for higher compression and did a"mild street porting" on it. Post the sale I had conversations withAdam at Rx-7 and what I was told seemed to be true. Therefore, I would thinkthat the assembled engine left Canadafree of water. The combustion chambers had and still have a generous helping ofATF and no signs of corrosion in that area. > > What is interesting is that I have leftthe drain plug out and have watched it for quite a while to see if afterhot/cold weather changes there was any drip.

I got mine fromRX-7 Specialties as-is, and they said they thought Mazda ran them and left thewater in. I just find it hard to believe that there is that muchcondensation collecting in these engines, but it's perhaps a more reasonableexplanation than believing Atkins, and Mazda left water in them. > > Cheers, > > Rusty (ordered a master rebuild kit, EC-2,EM-2, and RD-1C today) -------Original Message-------
