It leaned out while on full chat the tuner could not save it in time happend too quick. Me and john saw what looked like fuel spray come out from near the plenum right before it went could be the cause for it who knows made 330@ the wheel before she went

Thanks for the kind words of support guys cheers me up :) I know this happens to all rotary owners at some point just didnt think it would happen for some time yet as the engine wasnt that old oh well time for a street port i guess:Tongue1

Clouds with silver linings :driving
 
Eileen (Lets Drift) sends her comiserations as well - like you say - most of us will end up at rebuildsville at some point - if it\'s any concelation - I\'m on engine number 4 - but I thoroughly recommend a street port :mmmm
 
Just a shame it happened on the dyno run.
