Now, just so everyone knows, I went over my budget. Shopping in Paul and Rick's garage is like a kid in a candy factory. I did oil galley mods for instance, new rotor housings, etc. But getting the LIM repaired added unforeseen labor.

They are under vacuum...

I still don't get it - man my skull is thick today. Why not plug the line? Or better yet, put those nozzles under nos pressure? LOL

hmmm NOS . Now you are talking .......

I thought they helped prevent fuel puddling which aids in prevention of flooding .
I doubt that removing them would achieve anything as CRH noted above .

Excited? Hell yea!

I have everything to complete the engine except injectors, fuel rails, and OMP lines and dribblers. I was going to use the existing ones off the OE motor, but I might source more new parts - yes I am crazy.

Thanks for the 52mm nod

I'm in discussion with someone about purchasing the shortblock from one of my used engines and m ay have some or all of those available to sell used. Just that much less stuff for me to pack and haul to Texass ....

Not yet - I still am working on cleaning up the ports a little. There is a ridge that needs to be trimmed inside the manifold. As soon as I get that completed, it is off to get coated. I bet within the next two weeks.

The new engine is getting Idemitsu oils:

Idemitsu Racing Rotary Engine Oil 20W-50 (Full Synthetic)
Idemitsu Racing Rotary Fuel Lube (Premix) - Synthetic Blend

Going to run 1/2 oz per gallon of gas for premix, and also run the premix in a separate Sohn adapter reservoir for the OMP dribblers.
