Let me throw this out there again.  I have the opportunity to purchase a
Renesis that came out of a 2005 RX8 that was totaled with 1000 mile on it.
This engine is complete except the alternator.

Where would be the most likely place that this engine might sustain damage
associated with a crash?  I sure don’t want to get this engine home and find
that there might be damage in a spot that would be obvious to the well
informed on this list.

My next question is do I tare down a perfectly good engine and do the
internal mods to the oil jets in the E shaft?  I don’t really want to go
into a factory built engine if it is not necessary, (1000 miles is not much,
about what I put on my truck every two weeks and those factory guy’s have a
lot more experience and certainly better equipment than I). If not then what
problems might be caused by removing and replacing the tension bolts one at
a time to coat them with silicone to dampen the vibration?

I know that the thermal pellet will have to go but there again you don’t
have to open the housing to replace it.

I know that there are a bunch of ya’ll out there that have opinions so let
me hear them.
