I do have a question...
Those tension bolts are gigantically huge, so I'm assuming that this engine gets bolted together the same way a regular 12a or 13b does. Wouldn't that put a lot of stress on the bolts in the middle? I would think that once you get to 4-rotors you'd almost have to thread the centre iron and put bolts in from each side in an alternating pattern to keep the stress off them. Breaking a tension bolt on a 4-rotor would suck, it's not like you can just order a replacement from mazdatrix! Jon |

Jon Speaking of which... do you have to torque tension bolts on a 3 or 4 rotor any higher than on a 13B? I'd think it would remain the same torque. Awesome project.

very awesome, I may consider doing this when I get myself a garage...
