I have both 90' Vert S5 13b and 04' rx8 and Banzai did both motors a couple months ago and both run great. I would like to know what happened! Chris does good work so there had to be a part failure somewhere.

Banzai said they'd take care of it. I've drained the engine of coolant, dried the cylinders, and "filled" them with oil to prevent rusting since I won't be able to pull the engine until this weekend. For anyone that thinks they have a coolant leak DO NOT LET THE COOLANT SIT IN THE ENGINE. You'll quickly rust the engine and likely double or triple your rebuild costs. It's ugly; don't let it happen to you.

Man just don't call the rotor housings "cylinders". There are no cylinders in a rotary engine, ok

I'm lazy and would rather type one word when it's obvious everyone knows what I'm talking about.
