A) why is this in major horsepower upgrades?

B) Incredibly common issue. So common that it affects every RX-8 in cold weather, every year. See the new owner's link in my sig, post #2.

Once again the "foam in oil" threads show up in Winter.

Guess nobody searches anymore before just creating a thread.

Yes, I'm trying to be nice about it.

Your buddy isn't aware that the RX-8 doesn't have a head gasket. A head gasket requires an engine block head, which means a piston engine. We don't have a piston engine.

Of course not.

Tie them to your rims to take out rivals in door to door racing.



Or maybe you bought them for your Miata....
