oil cooling is a must have since almost 1/3 of the rotarys heat it taken away by the oil that is run into the rotor and its barrings.

So even in an N/A its almost a nessity to make it last a long time.
so if they aren't for oil cooling I could not even see what else thry could be because the brakes don't take the precedence over the engine to warrent extra brake cooling now you can always use more cooling capacity (we all leaned that from the FD) so if they are for braking and not oil I will think of the new mazda desingers gensis and fools at the same time, because to work this hard and get so many things right and to half-*** it by not cooling the oil.

Speaking of rotor bearings... are they roller bearings or oil pressure bearings like in a regular car?
