VIDEO - Oil fill neck smoking, running on one rotor
Just want to make sure that when I replace the center iron, and throw everything back together, the same thing won't happen again so long as I fix my water leaking problem. I got a brand new waterpump from Mazda and new o-rings for the intake water passages already, so I won't be having any more water or overheating issues.
I don't really see how else that could have happened. Just would like some confirmation on my guess.

Can you explain what you mean a little more? I'm sorta confused haha
I would suggest, when putting a rebuild together, getting a new water pump while you're at it, also new O-rings, new almost anything when putting new parts in.
I'm sure you know this now, damn man! cracks! thats nuts, thank god I put in my koyo :3
Gosh, this is a nightmare, I am going to be keeping an eye on my gauges till the day I die.

I don't think water lead to this.i have only seen this type of damages on engines due to lack of oil lubrication.take your oil pump off and spec it out,also how are the bearings on both stationary gears and rotors.
And by the looks of it rear and middle iron are trash including rotors,and don't reuse the same oil control rings as those probably got trashed while rubbing against that rear and mid iron.
Discovered what I believe may have been the problem..Upon removing the oil pressure regulator cap, the plunger was not there. Somehow it didn't get replaced upon reassembly. So oil returning from the cooler was basically able to just bypass the oil pump I believe. I don't know much about how the oil pump and oil control valve works so most of what I just wrote is only deduction, but it seems to me based on that that I would lose tons of oil pressure and circulation with that plunger not there, which could easily have caused the cracking.
