We've seen 2 occasions where replacement engines did not get the rear stationary gear o-ring installed causing big oil leaks. last one was a reman renesis, prior to that it was a reman 13B-REW. Sloppy either way.

I took my 2004 RX-8 to Jim Click because it was stalling and loosing power in hot weather. Sure enough they said they were replacing the engine. Lucky my warranty expires in 4 months. And get this, the rental car loaner company said they have had many RX-8 rentals for 30 days or "engine replacement". So were's the recall? Sounds like a defect in the design to me.
