If there is a groove in the front hub( pulleys bolt to it) then that would cause a leak. All you need to do is change the depth of the front main seal in the front cover.

Well I didn't build the engine. I had Turblown build the motor for me in which they have done a great job in doing so. The sky it the limit with them. But over all just little dumb issues which were costing me in the long run.

Mods In progress
1. Custom relocated Aluminum coolant reservoir with an fittings
2. An fittings on the thermostat housing. (I choose to do this because it makes routing the coolant hoses more simpler and gives me the added protection I need to have so I don't have to worrie about tighting clamps and hoses poping up just makin the coolant system secure.

3.Bhr coils--stock coils are fine for stock parts. But really the can will run but it feels like it has a boost around 7grand.

4.Access Port
5.Battery Relocation to the trunk. Then can get to the turbo setup.

No more oil leaks I didn't have to to remove the front seal thank god.

Ive really been contemplating on getting a 3rotor engine to put in my car and having Turblown rebuild me one. To say f- the b.s and make 750hp. Just tryin to find a short block for now for a good price.

3 rotor swap justified as preventive maintenance, would not want the seal to leak, better add a rotor.

Several of our married members should take notes.

Right but sounds funny but since then I've got a little wise and older and I been thinking about a 3 rotor for some time along with a *RE Amemiya front clip painting the car red *redoing the inside completed different. *That's what have been on my mind.*
