Leon,  

I don't have any experience with rotaries so I'm probably not the right one to answer but Tracy recommends disabling it and if it operates like a water thermostat pellet I'd want it removed if it is not necessary.  I have seen a V8 engine that warped the heads when the thermostat failed to open after it warmed up.  If the oil pellet failed to operate I'd think it could destroy the whole rotating assembly.  I'm open to rational reasons why it can be left in place.  Also Bruce T. has the pellet replacement rods.  He told me today the RX - 7 and Renesis use the same pellet replacement rods.  I was under the impression the RX -7 pellet replacement was different and would not work in the Renesis.  Anyone else have an opinion?
