Hi David,

No Renesis at this point, just relating = to Tracy's=20 comments more about a tight new engine producing more power, more = heat. My=20 engine is a 91 turbo block 13B. Yes, I think new rotors (with new = apex=20 slots), new type apex seals and new rotor housings - plus setting up the = side=20 seals to the minimum specs, new metal oil rings - I think just added up = to a=20 much tighter engine than I had previously.

Flew this morning and could tell the = difference in=20 power. Advance the throttle and a strong push is felt in the rear = end=20 - much different. ROC seems to be up considerably as = well. Will=20 release numbers after a couple more flights.

Recall I fly with a "Plugs Up" = orientation, my=20 engine is rotated 90 deg so that the plugs are on top and exhaust/intake = on the=20 bottom. For that reason I do not use a "bed" type mount - so no = aluminum=20 plate between oil pan and block - just some gray silicon gasket=20 sealant.

Ed, good morning.

I noticed your statement, "This is = pretty much=20 what Tracy reported when first flying with the Renesis engine - tight = engine,=20 more power, more heat. So it appears that this engine is much=20 tighter. I can now maintain level flight burning 4 gph when it = used to=20 take 5.5 gph. Can't wait until its broken in a bit more to see = what the=20 top end is. Overhaul kit from Real World Solutions and parts = from Bruce=20 T appear to have come together in a tight nit engine."

Are you flying with an RX-8 Renesis = engine=20 now? or just relating your experience with a tightly overhauled = RX-7,=20 comparing to Tracy's RX-8?

And, I liked the picture of your = engine mount=20 (photo you sent of the "engine hoist" at the "emergency landing" = airport when=20 your apex seal peeled back). It doesn't look like you use the = aluminum=20 plate between oil pan and housings. Have any details you could = send=20 about your "attachment point adapters"?

David

Wife, drove me and my flight gear to = aircraft=20 getting there around 1100. By time finished loading, = reinstalling the=20 avionics - the @$#%^ transponder wouldn't slide all the way back in an = engage=20 the pins it was 1130 and the wind was picking up. - I = figured I'd=20 stay low enough and out of class B airspace anyway. =
