My RX-8 resto build

Pulled the plugs yesterday, after maybe 800 miles. The front housing, Leading position plug had a brownish liquid on it. Looks like I have a small coolant seal leak. Yippie!!

Being that I don't really give a shit, since I will replace the entire engine, and upgrade the radiator at the same time, I am going to block the heater core, and use some Bars Ceramic Head Gasket repair 'magic bottle'. I know people hate that shit in a rotary, but I have friends that have run it for over 2 years in their rotaries before developing any recurring issues.
