Rebuilt 13B
I had BRYN PARK rebuild my `84 SE`s engine and it hasn`t run right since. It has been blowing oil from every place it can. Now, I notice that when I look in the oil fill tube when idling and rev it ever so slightly there appears to be a river of oil flowing by. Is this cause for alarm? I don`t have 500 miles on this engine since I picked it up last August and it is sad to see it sitting in the yard looking pretty and no place to go. I can`t drive it because I generally want to get home in the same car I left in. Is there a decent Mazda guy somewhere around Augusta, Ga? 200 miles would be ok. Mr. Park charged me $6000 for something, not sure what as the only thing that was close to right was the paint job, done by someone else. HELP!!!!

If it were me, I would take it back and demand he go through the engine again and do it right this time. I do my own engines & work with only rotary but for that kind of money, you should take it back.

Because it`s a couple hundred miles and he didn`t do it right the first time or any of the other stuff he was supposed to do. I had a one shot deal to pick it up, a friend drove my `88 GXL as back up and a way there. I don`t want him on it again. He misrepresented himself before and that is bad enough. Twice would be "shame on me"...

Still 13B problems
Maybe I presented it wrong but I still have the question about the oil flow being obvious with the oil fill cap off and running. I had (have?) an issue with the charcoal cannister filling with oil and took one from my `82 parts car to replace it. I haven`t driven it `cause of the steering issues and just warm it up from time to time so I haven`t had that problem lately. After an obscene amount of money in it, I`m not sure what else to do. All advice centers at returning the car to BRYN PARK to honor his warranty but, personally, I don`t believe there`s any honor there. I get great clouds of smoke from the exhaust also, don`t know if it`s related, sometimes blue usually white, no water loss, varying oil pressure from 5-60 psi (idle- some throttle). This really sucks `cause I wanted this car to be right. I have owned MANY RX-7s and never had this kind of problem. The car has the mileage from Park`s house (he told me he had a shop) and some around here but not even 500 miles since the re-build....

I took this topic a bit off track with my comments, so to get it back on track, don't forget what the poster is asking from us please ^^
I realy hope someone can answer him, as maybe getting his car back running is higher priorety then getting his money back as none of us know what he does for a living or what kind of money he has avialble to spend on his car.
Is there a decent Mazda guy somewhere around Augusta, Ga?
