That’s right Ed, the gas recirculation is for keeping temperatures in balance.
I just hate that I ignored it when I should have fixed it to begin with.

Richard, what I did was get a high temp epoxy paste and used that to plug the holes.  At least in my case, the holes were enough out of the direct exhaust gas flow the epoxy survived.    I think they are gas recirculation holes.

Bill,
 
after cleaning the rotor housing and looking at it again I think the drill and tap can be done.
 
Thanks

Neither one has straight access, unfortunately.

Can you drill and tap them?

Took the engine apart and found the previously mentioned holes in the exhaust port wide open into the oil pan. Now I have to find a good way to close them. Anyone having a good idea?
