http://www.iluvmyrx7.com free download of the manual there . Download the first section on engine rebuilding.
Or mazdatrix.com and look for APEX SEALS.

Parking lot, after some heavy racing. Put it into 1st, under 10 mph, didnt hear anything "pop." Just a sudden loss of power and it didn't wanna idle. WTF? I guess that was my penalty for racing on a COLD engine.
I still dont understand WHY it blew? carbon? I really dont know.
Well, took the engine apart, apex seal gone on the REAR rotor. Carved the housing up good and ruined the rotor. $1600 for factory rebuild

the only one thats dies on me: 1985 gsl-se 211,000miles on the original engine. it always smoked when started cold, and then i put a radio in it. once i had reception, the rotor oil seal blew. it smoked so bad i couldn't see the house. i took the motor apart and it looked new (except for the o ring)

I misread. My 82 went one morning. Going to jury duty. Normal street driving. No high revs. Doing about forty to forty five in forth. Just started running on one rotor. Don''t remember any real noise. No sounds previous to it happening. Not overrevving, not lugging.
