Tracy,
How should I plumb the 4 lines for the 3-rotor. From your
explanation, it seems it should have 6 lines (2 per rotor)? Even the
20b OMP only has 4-ports. Should I split the 4th line into three
separate lines? Do you know of anyplace where I could read about how
OMPs are connected from the factory?
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. Were you going to email me a copy of the updated EC-2 manual?

Two into the rotor housings, two into the intake manifold just upstream of
the ports in the block.

Steve, that's why I'm asking the experts on this. I'm still trying to
figure this out. The older 13b OMP has 4 ports. So did the 20B OMP, with
only three lines. I was planning on not using the 4th port. Where does
the 4th line go to on the 13b setup?

Mark,
Since the OMP 's I've seen are set up with 4 oil lines and intended for a
two rotor engine, how do you intend to adapt it to the three rotor engine
in terms of amount of oil metered and how it is distributed?

Is anyone running an oil metering pump (OMP) that can help me figure out
how the lines should be connected. I'm planning on using the Mazda
banjo fittings to hook up to the OMP, but what do I do with the check
valves. Do you connect the check valves to a vacuum source or just
block them off? Will the system work properly if I plug the check
valves? I plan on locking the lever in the full open position. Will
this work for a/c use? I'll be using Richard Sohn's adapter with a 1
gallon reservoir filled with 2-stroke oil.
