61K New engine?
#26
Glad I got my order in last week
This is ironic, 72k miles on mine. And the back side seal was going getting coolant in the 2nd rotor during startup.
I'm veery curious if the side seals are failing due to the OMP <-- what does that stand for? well the oil pump that is used to lube the side seals in the rotars, now if the re-flash in 05' updated to compensate for 5w20 oil.... i wonder if using the heavier 5w30 oil is providing less flow at higher rpm's?
I'm not trying to support the 5w20 recommendations, but if the internal oil injector is programmable, running a thicker viscosity rating would logically pose a slower flow at higher rpm compared to a thinner oil viscosity.
Thoughts?
oh I think i get my 8 back tamorrow wo0t!
