Whoooooo!!!!!! HOOOOOOOO!!!!
I got my baby back! Man, she is smooth with her new engine, clutch, motor mounts, plugs, coils, and wires. Too bad I'll be yanking those new factory wires and coils off as soon as my BHR kit arrives. My extended warranty paid for the coil, plugs, and wires so all I had to pay was $100.00 deductible. But they wouldn't do the engine unless I had the coils and stuff done as well (which they billed $680.00 for).
But I figure I can sell the factory coils and wires and get some of that back so its a wash IMO.

Uh, the service dude just told me 5W20 and never synthetic. I just sighed and said okay buddy. he also told me I didn't need to do the first oil change on the new motor until 3000 miles. I was just happy to have my car. I will be installing a filtermag and doing an oil change to 0W40 this weekend. I just added my first 7oz of Lucas UCL. When I have time I'll get a case of some real synthetic 2 stroke.

I kept mine for maybe 200 miles before I drain and flush it. Its still new oil so why not ?
As for 5w20 and never use synthetic, well, most techs dont know anything about rotary engine. so
0w40 should be good for now
Reman comes with like 80-90% brand new parts. so they just pour some zoom cleaner into brand new housing. wow. what a waste of time.

Other than that it does not make any sense to clean a clean reman engine.

maybe the tech there wants to burn/clean off all the "crap" that he thinks the housing has ?
well new Reman plant will put a layer of oil on the housing and stuff, but its same thing for new build ... ahh I dont know.
I wonder what compression # ur reman engine has.

I did a long road trip 500 miles this weekend and she ran great (never revved her up past 4k though). I premixed before the first fill-up with Pennzoil Marine (6oz) and premixed again for the fill-up on the way back.

I dunno man, I'll let you know, I have to get my BHR kit and get everything taken apart to see whats up.
Actually its only 161 miles each way but we (My dad in his Miata) did a 100 mile cruise and anytime anyone needed to go somewhere I offered to drive :-).
I also, replaced the Ballast in my headlight, the HID bulbs, installed my adjustable rear end links, debadged my trunk, and made the slits behind the oil coolers larger.
Damn dude, where did you go? That's about what 7-8 hrs drive time?
