Differences between front and rear rotor housings
What is the difference between the front and rear rotor housings.
I have 3 good used 13B-REW rotor housings. Of course the best 2 are both rear rotor housings and my only good front is not quite as good.
What are the problems of using a rear rotor housing in the front.
I was concerned about the airpump channels because it would appear the air pump plumbing is only connected to one side of the rotor housing.
Are the cooling jackets identical or are there subtle differences there also?

if you look Mazda only drilled the hole on one side. on a 12A they drill both sides, so that the housing works front and rear.
its very easy to drill the hole....
