As far as the low compression rotors, Alex Lopez is going to fabricate them. My motor is in his shop and he will start on it this coming week. I'll update after I go back to his shop next week.

If he has the ability to manufacture lower compression rotors, he might just be able to make some good money off of them. I'll be curious to see what he does. If he is just machining the current ones to lower compression, I wouldn't touch them. The castings are way too thin on the new rotors. They'd be too weak.

RG, he did mentioned that it as going to cost him some money to make them, but he wanted to do it. I'll ask him about his plans when we take my motor apart. I'll mention your concerns to him as well and see what he says. This guy's shop is rotary heaven, I mean there was a 20B FD making 800 hp, and some kind of datsun with another 20B and some massive drag slicks and wheelie bar getting ready for this week's drag race at morosso.

i'd hit it for the older motors. the side seal locations allow for bigger ports. we can get some good power on the older motors without having to brap it!!

Well, I still have yet to get back my car. However, I am getting lower compression rotors. They were gonna do beefier 2mm seals, but they custom machined the grooves and the 2mm seals still had some minor clearance in the housing, so they decidied to go with 3mm seals to fit those dimensions. So, in all of this waiting and drawn out process, I will be receiving lower compression rotors. Keep your fingers crossed, I'm supposed to get it back within a week.
