Update- motor spun front rotor bearing. I somehow had an out of round bearing and didn't catch it coupled with running it hard before break in didn't help lol. So I tore the motor apart and changed a lot of things. First thing I did is replace the carbon apex seals with one piece Ianetti ceramic seals. I also did all the race oil mods by eliminating oil going through front cover. Oil now comes out direct from the side of the front iron to the oil cooler than to my rear iron than a line from rear oil adaptor plate to front stationary gear feed to front iron. This eliminates the from cover o-ring and gives direct oil to front and rear stationary gears. A lot of machining but it is a bullet proof oil system. Engine now starts up hot and runs way better. I'm breaking this motor in easy. Here's a pic- dang can't figure out how to post pic from I phone?

we got to roll bro. so come and pick up my commercial paint sprayer to get it done on time. besides it will be too hot in May to paint. Unless you're planning to mix your paint with water and spray it multiple times, you will be fine. otherwise, summer heat on the stucco exterior walls will eat the paint so you will need to double your budget lol

Went to cars and coffee with my friend Mike. His car is a mint 73 Toyota Levin with 12abp and I brought my 616. Both engines were built by me. We had the only rotaries there brap brap brap. Everyone was coming up to us and ask what is that? Haha

When I got my car there was no key for the door locks and the trunk lock was missing. So I installed a set of Solex locks. Looks pretty good
