Machining rotors for high revs and oil pressure
I'm looking at machining some 8.5:1 rotors for my engine so i can rev it a bit higher safely without them hitting the side plates. How much do you machine off the 2 faces???
Also I have E shaft oil jet mods done and my oil pressure is just over 4kg/cm when driving around, is this oil pressure high enough to support the bearings??
I'm running big HB port and a T04R.

Old rx7 competition manual says .13-.17mm clearance for a 9000rpm 12A pp motor. Hope that helps.

PS 4kg/cm is about 57psi for us here on on the other side of the pond.

From doing a Bit of Reading be carfull not to go too much, There is quite alot out there about Side seals comping out of Place at high RPM. I admit i'm not sure how much was removed though but best not to guess.

I see what your saying but when you get your finger inside the port and feel the side seal, I can see how it can come out that far.
There isn't much seal exposed once the engine is bolted together.
