new to rotaries(HELP???)
I just got a 93 rx7! I am very happy! I used to be the owner of a HONDA DEL SLOW!
I dont know much about rotaries and am need to know how to properly care for one! cause i dont want to kill such a nice car..
I just got mine not to long ago and from what i know is that the car has 75,000 miles on the body but only 700 miles on the new street ported engine in it.
-do i still need to break in my car because i took it for a ride the other day and honestly, i redlined it about 3-4 times
, was it safe to do that ive only done that about 6 times ever...
-i drove it the other day also and every time i hit the gas the car would stumble around 3000 rpms??WTF?? and the engine check light came on, but i let the car only warm up for a brief second, later i turned the car on and let it warm up for about 7 mins. and didnt have that stumble??
am i supposed to let it warm up all the time if so how long??
-i let the car cool down for about 4-5 mins after short drive, is that safe?? whats recommended??
-also when, ive only gone to 2nd gear in my car ever, havent went past 2nd into 3rd...(i dont drive it much)
but in 2nd the boos gets only up to 7psi...8psi.. is that normal?? i believed that it was supposed to be 10-8-10??? is that only in 3rd gear that you get 10-8-10??
-also?? i cant think of anything else to ask but what should i do first to the car???
SORRY ABOUT THE LONG POST( JUST WANT TO BE SAFE)

Engine break-in
The reason you are breaking in the engine is BECAUSE it is rebuilt!!! So the answer is YES!!!
