Engine Longevity
So, I've got a Mazda remanufactured engine and I want to extend its' live as long as possible.
I've got the omp setup to inject 2 cycle oil.
I'm also premixing every fillup.
I'm running upgraded ignition coils.
Is there anything I'm missing?

Get a device like scangauge, good box or an OBD scanner and collect data on your engine. Fuel consumption, fuel trim, temperature, that kind of thing. It will help you catch problems before they manifest more apparently.
I got a BlueTooth scanner - Torque. Though, I haven't tried monitoring the fuel trims. I'll look into that. I've got a water temp gauge to keep a constant eye on that.
Then I found a post by rotaryresurrection I think. It seems that in an effort to better deal with more and more restrictive emissions standards, the later roatary cars injected less oil-which would increase wear and contribute to or cause loss of compression, loss of power, hot starting issues, etc.
I've been premixing only (deleted omp) on the rx7 for a little over 10 yrs and have had no internal wear-related issues.
I'm gonna try premixing in the rx8 -- also gonna look into if it;s possible to up the amount of oil injected by the omp.
Do mod no2 and you wont need to premix : https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tec...9/#post4872229
