It is safe to use, but you still have to go over it by hand to get it really clean. Oh, I won't get my car back today, they were missing some gaskets when they went to reassemble, so they overnighted them and I should get it tomorrow, DAMMIT

The only reason they tell you to rev up before you turn off is so the gas can cycle out of the rotary so you don't have a flood but honestly I don't think you have to do it every time, just on cold days and when you don't let the eng. warm up... As far as hurting the car, I don't think so its a rotary lol.

As for the reving it up. Its for sure not needed every time you turn it off. Depending on the year it probably doesnt need it at all. Id say the 04 and 05's only need it if its on the original engine and its cold out and you dont let it warm up. The others id say the problem is fixed. I never do any revs and dont always let it warm up and never have had an issue

Hey guys, the meet is at 3:00, at the lake terrace in sugarhouse park. I don't know about meeting for a burger yet, I haven't got any solid replies about it, so that may not happen

Are they planning on a BBQ at the park? Is that a bring your own meat affair? I'm down for the cottonbottoms still but either way I will be at the park at 300.
Ed, I just realized you hit me up on myspace. Good to see you on the boards, and hopefully at the meet. Don't worry about the revving like others said unless you have problems with cold start and so forth. You not hurting anything, as long as you redline the engine she'll be good to you.
