I sure hope somebody comes up with an explanation for coolant in the rotor
housings, as I can't find one!  I tore down my engine because of that, and
could find NO o-ring leaks.  If it leaked, it didn't leave any evidence.
The system would hold 15 psi pressure for a week or so, but would
*slowly*leak into the rotor housing.  Up to temp, it would blow air
into the coolant
system (equal opportunity leak).

Didn't find the coolant leak, but did find about 3/4" of one of the side
seals missing.  Now I am gathering parts to put it back with '91 rotors
(need a rear counterweight), and looking at street porting.  *Does anyone
know if there is value in street porting if 6000 rpm is the highest you will
see?*   Lynn??
