The bad:
Well the supposed oil leak from the greddy oil pan turn out to be a small leak from the engine. The leak is located right along (top part) of the spark plug side of the engine between the front housing and the front rotor housing. It leaks about one drop every minute while at idle and I noticed the leak since October.
According to Cam is either oil coming out of a known porous area around the dowel (defect from early renesis and mine is an early 2004 model) or a crack in the front housing. Either way, we won’t know until engine teardown. Other than that the engine runs great.
Engine will be pull tomorrow and at Cam’s on Monday for teardown.
The good:
Engine will be ported and rotors will be machined to accept 3mm apex seals.
BTW, no, no, no, no, no, no lower compression rotors will be used. No, no, no, no, super-duper apex will be used other that FD oem apex seals. No, no, no, no, no other modifications will be made.

Porting makes it fun to drive, your boost max PSI will be slightly lower, but power will go up.
Sorry to hear this Juan. Glad you are in a proactive mode and not a recovery mode though.
3 mm seals? Can I ask why?
I like what I have read about the bendy apex seals. But I dont know anyone with 1st hand experience.
Is Cam doing his exhaust port magic to help cool that area?
Since you are porting, how about cleaning up the inside of the LIM? Remove the Jet Air stuff, seal up the VDI(it does leak from runner to runner), lots of casting marks can be removed etc.

Front iron is weak around the dowell area . We managed to fix the oil leak WITHOUT pulling the engine apart with a cunning bypass system . Believe it ..........................or not .

2mm seal lack surface area for FI applications.

Yes and some others too all around the engine. He know I road race the car first hand so the royal treatment in the works.

Done a while back.

Cam recommends switch to 15W40 oil and Protek-R 1oz per gallon of fuel mix.

2mm and 3mm seals have the same surface area.
15w40 is too heavy on cold-starts.
10w50 or, if you want to spend the money, 5w50.
Though, bother are not really gonna do anything for you unless you are seriously over-heating the motor.

BTW, what the heck is an iron and why do you have one on your engine?
It seems unusual for the seal to break that way . All the breakages I've heard about so far happen at the tapered end of the seal . Also : lucky it went that way and did not end up flying around your engine gouging and destroying one side completely .
I want to know why that hand is so clean---aint you a working man?
Stay away from 9K --aint nothing but trouble. Like this ole country girl I used to know and my daddy warned me about--but did I listen---nooooo!
Sorry to hear this Juan. Back to oem exhaust manifold? Why is that?
Water meth didnt help the egt's?

Not mine, my son's hand. Now you know who does the dirty work.

I know plus no dynos too.

As I'm going thru all my engine parts and components while the engine is at Pettit I discovered that there was a leak on my bypass valve. The upper o-ring (the one located inside the screw cap was not sealing thus when applying vacuum the inside plunger did not stayed up. I'm running a soft spring at the moment. New o-ring and some tread sealer took care of the problem.

yea-- the turbo x bypass valve i ran for a while would have a leak like that--unless I kept it real clean.
Overtime you will also get deposit buildup in those things. its not an install and forget item.
Juan are you going to clean up the lim--i swear it makes a difference. Have you also bored your TB--that helps a little in midrange also---i swear it!
Course now please consider that I am just an idiot with a few tools and a book.

Dun a while back to include the SC inlet.
