I would assume major carbon buildup as your engine oil won't burn as clean as the premix...and blowby is combustion coming in not oil going into chamber but we can keep our hopes up for those who have lots of blowby!

I am (mostly) joking, but the cause was (mostly) an overfilled oil pan.

Update:
I was able to get the motor in the car and the wastegates routed accordingly. The turblown manifold fits like a glove. I have ordered a Borg Warner s300sxe, 69mm Inducer / 80mm Turbine Wheel - 13009097051
I hope it will fit nice and easy as it is advertised with the manifold.
I was able to get the ID 1700xds installed in the secondary rail with no issues. I am waiting on another EGT sensor as the threads pulled out of it when I went to change its position in the manifold grrr...
Hopefully it can be up and running in the next 2 weeks.

Update:
I was able to get the egt sensor replaced. The s300 69mm has arrived and it's looking wild. I got it clocked and now just waiting on some 12 an line for the oil drain.
I called full function engineering as I suspected that my stock pulley was marked incorrectly and they said the arrow on the trigger wheel needs to point directly at the sensor and that is TDC... Well my stock pulley is off by about 15 degrees. I had previously been using the pulley marks which may have assisted the previous engines early deaths.
Pictures of Manifold with EGTs and the FFE email I received.

some tools are worth having, though once you have TDC nailed down then determining any position from there is straightforward and doesn’t really require an additional $400 for that purpose imo.
.
regarding the S369SXE, it was a blast once up on boost. If your goal is 550 - 700 whp with 20 - 30 psig boost then it will serve the purpose well for the price. I didn’t need that much and am also more into low end response. These links might be helpful:

you can use it for nailing down TDC with any pulley or crank trigger setup. You might be surprised by having made an assumption. Because there’s no guarantee on any of them being spot on without having determined so directly. With timing being so critical on a wankel it sort of shocked me to think how many people just send it on a wing and a prayer.
I also updated my prior post and you caught me during the edit.

Update:
She is alive. I poured a ton of 2 stroke in it after I finished the rebuild and it was a smoke show on startup which is always fun. I was able to get the timing adjusted per the FFE trigger wheel I had to change the crank offset by 6, I'm not sure if it was retarded or advanced as I am not confident in my understanding of the marks and which direction advance and retard is. I wish I could feel more confident in it. I am waiting for my intercooler pipes to come so I will be idling the car and driving it up and down the street at 10mph. The egts are quite interesting, the air coming out is hotter then hades.
I apologize in advance for the beeping

Thank you all for your replies rotarymachine and j9fd this was at an idle of around 850RPM. When I was cruising up the street at around 30 mph it went up to about 1100 degrees ~3000rpm 20% throttle. When the car is not heat soaked the idle temp is around 650 and when heat soaked around 750. I do have the probes inserted deep into the manifold which may explain the slightly higher temps.

so i just ran mine (no more idle bounce!) and with the PFC and air pump,
770rpm idle is like 475c (stock ecu was higher)
1600rpm fast idle was like 700c
at 3000rpm it should be 750? 800?
not saying mine are correct or anything, just data to compare

One of my EGT data points:
13.6 AFR
1285 F Front Rotor EGT
1284 F Rear Rotor EGT
3000 RPM
~ -15 mmhg
15% Throttle
73C Coolant
34C Intake (Heat soaked stock sensor)
Please excuse the wiring madness

the air pump throws it off, i think without its about 11.8? me and the autotune are fighting about it
i'll get back to you on the cruise EGT, 1285 is probably not that far off mine though

Looking forward to your cruise EGT's

Michael you cruise AFR's again seem in the ball park for my understanding. Believe it or not cruise/constant throttle EGT's will be higher than you see under load as you will be running much more lean than say doing a WOT, lower RPM pull where you are injecting much more fuel. From what I've understood EGT's should dip down from cruise when going WOT at lower RPMS then climb with RPMS to peak EGT at redline/max boost.
Also if comparing EGT's to each other, make sure you consider what heat range of spark plug you are both using too; this will have some effect on EGTs also.

Also this...... depending on manufacturer, but I believe it's Haltech that recommends probes on a turbo application to be inserted 6-7mm only or something like that. Don't quote me on the specifics but I've always heard 6-7mm insertion for turbo application.
Also Also: keep in mind J9's numbers are in C where yours are in F, so you're actually seeing quite a bit lower EGTs than his original post.

Update:
I took the car for a short 40 mile drive yesterday and it always feels so good to be back on the street after a rebuild. Car was cruising smooth but I did notice that my idle vaccum is down from when I used the E and J seals on the last rebuild. Maybe it needs some more time to break in... I am pulling around -14-15 mmHG at idle ~800 rpm. My idle ignition timing is 10 with a split of 10.
