rotor swapping
A friend of mine wants to put lower compression (from Rx7) rotors into his renesis motor. But im not exactly sure if the side seal placement will be a problem. Or anything else.

I know everything that needs to be done to put renesis rotors into the older 13b's. But i never looked into putting older rotors to the newer motor. And i dont have any spare parts to check for myself at the moment...

you can put renesis rotors in the older 13b but not the other way around
