Yes, I would no longer consider porting a
six port myself, but back in 92 I knew a bit less about the rotary
engine. Besides, if the rebuilder had either talked me out of it OR had
not charged me for it, the situation would have been a bit different.
I personally prefer the turbo block for
porting myself. I used the Racing
Beat Street port on my turbo block and it really
woke it up.
By the way, did Jason get his situation
sorted out?

Ed,
I guess you have seen the Mazdatrix web site where they discourage the whole
porting thing with a 6-port. Just the opposite of what Lynn proposes.

That's interesting to hear, Bill. My first engine was
an 86 N/A that was suppose to have been street ported (I paid to have it done),
but when I later tore it down, much to my surprise there had been no porting
done. So I ported the next engine myself – at least I got my
money's worth {:>).
