Just had emission test on my new 88 Vert.: Passed with some amazing results!

Tell me if you think this is strange for an RX-7 to pass with these kind of numbers.
HC (ppm) limit/ results-for cruise:
160/ 11
for idle
220/12
CO % limit/ results- for cruise:
1.1/.05
for idle
1.2/0
I was expecting to pass, but not by that much! All I did was change plugs and air filter since I bought it Friday. I guess it must be in OK shape, huh?

No worries here either. Properly tuned, they are fine.

^^

Will a blown coolant seal automatically blow the SMOG test? I'm only asking because I did pass SMOG easily I noticed very small amounts of coolant coming out of the seam between the bellhousing and the engine. Should I be concerned?

Is it (gasp!) time for a rebuild or is it just a seal?
