There used to be a parts store by my house that sold a gasket kit for the FC. They went out of business. I called a couple major chains and it looks like I'll have to go to Mazda for it. Does ANYONE else sell these? Mazda = high prices...

Hey and also, on the note of engine internals, a friend told me that he installed his rotors the same way... as in both down... and somehow he got his timing right. How would you do that? I usually put an index mark as to where the rotors came out of and get um back exactly in the same place and all and my timing usually suffers very little so i don't know about this... Is there some way to hella adjust timing or is he BS-ing me or what?

EDIT: YOu'd have to get aroudn the shaft to do this too wouldn't you? In theory I guess it seems doable... but nodody has seen this and I was wondering if it was possible...

Mazdatrix and Rotary Aviation both have gasket sets, RA would probably be a bit cheaper, depending on what you needed...

It is impossible to place both rotors at the 12 o'clock, or 6 o'clock, or whatever, position. The e-shaft won't let you do it. I did a little experimenting while doing my rebuild, and came to the conclusion it's very difficult to even get the rotor off by 1 tooth (of the stationary gears), because it will tend to jam up against the rotor housing once that's in place. It's (almost) murphy-proof, there's only one way to put the rotors on the e-shaft AND get them to line up with the gear teeth AND get the rotor housing over everything...

I'm sure someone will get on now & tell me how full of crap I am, and how they managed to do something I just said can't be done, lol

see I was gonna be bold and say that I'd discovered a way to get more power but I figured somebody would do that to me LoL... i guess you just have more ***** than me :P
