As for MS, I'd want to run a freshly rebuilt motor on stock electronics to break it in correctly instead of rebuilding it and not getting good sealing due to trying to figure out a good tune from scratch on a non-bedded in motor. MS is a BIG possibility later esp with the hybrid and hair-brained mild turbo schemes
In regards to the proting, i understand what you mean. i was looking at the mazdatrix 6-port porting template to use to keep me from TOTALLY screwing the pooch on porting.
I was also looking for some feedback on the rebuild vids as the atkis vid, while good, didn't answer some of my questions. I'm also looking at getting the Mazdatrix vid and maybe the DVD set from
www.rotaryart.uk.com I'm trying to get as much info as possible for this rebuild as i've only worked on piston engines before
