Just bought an RX8 and joined the forums
Hey all I just got a 2004 RX8 that I知 rebuilding to be reliable and to last me for a bit I just got the engine out. Going to be breaking the keg tomorrow if anyone has any advice I知 all open ears I知 wondering if I should port or anything like that so you all know it痴 an automatic if I enjoy this enough I might go bigger with manual and posibly 3 rotor. Anyway thank for having me guys.

welcome to the club.
If you're doing a rebuild, I wouldn't worry too much about porting especially if this is your first RE build. It will have some benefits but the Automatic (especially the 4 port) doesn't have a whole lot more hp available so if reliability is the goal keep it simple.
Atkins Rotary used to have good rebuild manuals / videos you might want to check out. Also, for any rebuild kits that's a good vendor as well.
