Rusty, there once was a time when Bruce didn't *know* that the spacer
needed to be different with the RB pulley.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Thermal pellet plug
with underdrive pulley?
Many of the engines have the "racing beat" underdrive pulley
(mine did coming from Bruce), and I just did the 'retrofit' to change the oil
disable pellet under the pulley, because the dimensions of the pulley were
slightly different than standard Mazda pulley so the pellet had to be a little
longer.

Hi Bill,
You're above comments
got my attention, since I just changed my e-shaft pulley from stock, to the
one Mazdatrix sells (probably the same Racing Beat pulley). My engine
was modified by Bruce in the past, and had the aluminum bypass pellet
installed. I got a new pellet with the overhaul kit, but it looked the
same as the one I already had, so I saved the new one for possible use in the
single rotor. I just checked Bruce's site, and his description of
the pellet states that it works with aftermarket underdrive pulleys.
Mazdatrix sells these too, as well as the pulleys, and doesn't mention any
problems using the bypass with their pulleys.
My question here is
why did you have to change yours? Didn't it come from Bruce with the
pellet already installed on the underdrive pulley? What would make you feel
like you needed to change that?
I'm going to be out in
the garage later, playing with some of these parts to make sure I feel
comfortable with what I've just installed.
Cheers,
Rusty
PS- I'm definitely in
for one or two of the e-shaft alternators, perhaps belt free for the single
rotor.
