Hey anybody have any OEM primary injector grommets or spacers laying around that i can buy. Or know where i can find them? I specifically need one of the spacers/grommets that sits on the iron in the injector hole, just not sure what its really called. And one spacer/grommet for the actual injector itself.

For once, luck was on my side. I drove about 8 miles with zero oil pressure, got home and drained oil....not a single piece of metal in there. I guess that Lucas oil additive does help. Engine fires rt up and idles smooth so i know theres no spun bearing in there.
Im not gonna mess with any of the 6 used pumps i have laying around, So this week i am ordering a new oil pump, regulator, and fabbing up some -10 oil cooler lines. Gives me something to do and, honestly, its been overdue. One of the Oil cooler lines is the original from 1985!!

Check your top oil cooler line. The hard line has a point ehere it meets a soft hose. Check around that. Thats usually one of the spots where they leak. Also make sure the banjo fitting under the oil filter has the copper washers that seal it.

As far as asking when it'll blow up??? Thats like asking a married man when the wife will snap at him!!
You just dont know when!!!

It lost traction in 2nd, and does more than yours right now. I do like your rx7 video when it was running, post it.

Finally got my FD up and running again. it took a while but it was well worth the wait. Now i just gotta deal with driving it slow during the break in process.
