I've looked at a 95 RX7 workshop manual, and it just says that they are one way valves. If you can blow through them and suck back through them, replace the valve. It would seem to me the the vacuum "opens" the valve, and no vacuum closes the valve so it doesnt leak inside the rotor and siphon out of the metering oil tubes back into the pan. But I cant find proof of this theory in the manual.

Neither.
Both.

My plan is to run two of the oil injectors and use premix, with the intention of minimizing oil buildup in the apex seals, while avoiding damage when/if I screw up the premix. Each option has it's benefits. Each option has its drawbacks. You just have to realize the limitations of whatever you put together and live within them.
