no compression = engine blow
Mine blew but still have a bit compression left. No compression.....beside 6 apex seal missing, the only thing I can imagine is the gab between rotor and the housing or block probably can fit in a finger

If Ian can't fix it, i'll bring it to the C&C workshop...Thanks!

Hi Voyager. My CEL problem and yours may differ. Only benefit of going to them is they have the OBDII diagnostic and the workshop manual. Also the experience in repairing RX8's.

Rotorazda, is that your new shop??

Bio-zeta website doesn't say much about how it clean up the carbon, it just say it will!!!! If it magnetifying air particule, then you will need big big set of magnet, but that doesn't guarantee no carbon will exist.

Hi Lennon, from your experience, does this really work? if it does, it will be great for all RX-8 owner as we can get rid of the carbon build up in our renesis and maintain a better fuel consumption. Mazda should then endorse the product too!

Rotorazda, I am not questioning the quality and peformance of your product but actually find it very interesting and I think as soon as it is proven, it will be the best news for our 8. ;-)

I'm sorry but I cannot see how or why this "Bio-Zeta" product could work. The website was poorly written, and the only picture of the product is what looks like stickers you place on your airbox.

Does anyone else have any better information? This looks alot like hype marketing for "fuel savers" which have been proved in labs over and over not to work.

carbon built up is always an issue for our 8, is there any measurement device to actually test how much carbon built up in our 8? If there is no such device in the market, then there is basically no prove that any product will assist in removing the carbon built-up in our 8, unless they have proven statistic.

redlining.. ya. i heard it alot, but how much of carbon being removed by redlining our 8? how much and how fast the carbon built up? who can tell?

Exactly what I was asking before too... therefore, I am really interested to know if new product like this has been tested and proven to work.
