Well...RX7 Specialty it is!!

Well as you all know I blew my motor at only 3000 miles,brand ******* new motor!anyway I am picking up my car in Sacramento Ca. tomorrow and quickly going to pull the ****** out and send it to RX7 Specialty to get it built,I'm going with ceramic coated apex seal and while it's out I'm going to have the tranny done,hopefully this motor should last me a little longer.

I seriously doubt you have the same mods as Venom. I've been on a reman for almost 4 years, no problems.

Vemon, did you blow an apex seal on the motor? Who did your tuning?

Yes,I blew an apex seal and Motorsport Dynamics is the one who tuned the car and we had the AF monitor hooked up and it was perfect,we were at 4th gear going about 140mph and as soon as he let off the pedal the car started to run like **** and I knew we blew the seal.

What was the A/F? And I'm assuming you were using a wideband O2 sensor?

I'm just curious because sure there are stronger seals, but if you lean it out too much you can blow any seal.

Venom, you should also post your mods here in this thread. I've seen your list (which is a serious list), but I don't think people like sszablya know what you are running.
