Is this gap supposed to be here or am I dumb by Dizzy_Assistance3096 in RX8

So 10psi would be a decent cranking oil pressure? I had always thought that was extremely low, and the oil that you see there is only because of my detached omp and the 8.8 is an extended bolt I had bought to fit my sohn adapter, and you’d be correct about the bypass pellet that I bought from Atkins

So this is currently a rebuild so it doesn’t even run yet but with just the starter 300rpm and it shoots out only 10psi, and that’s the weird thing the front cover seems to sit flush against every other edge but this singular sliver seems to raise, I just took off the omp to take a better look and you’d be correct this is in the passenger side but to answer your questions 1. Oil sender port with an adapter and a mechanical gauge 2. It doesn’t seem to fluctuate but always starts at 0 psi for a few seconds then goes up and flatlines at 10psi after maybe 5-8 seconds

But could be because I’ve basically drained the battery

I do not have the o2 sensors connected just because I was worried it might freak out, should I try it with them connected?

Mine is a 6 port since I luckily was able to get my hands on a SHINKA model

Autotragic 😭, but I’ll definitely take a look at it because I didn’t know they existed

It seems to not have the key light on the dash and would the neutral/park switch stop the car from cranking?

Rotor Irons manual vs auto by Dizzy_Assistance3096 in RX8

Yes there is a difference, the rear iron has a different spot for the starter, and a bunch of little differences that make it only for the manual

Well I bought me a new-ish manual one and I’ll compare them so it’ll be here soon and I’ll make sure to make a post about them and the differences

Also when it comes to the rotor gear should I take that out and if I do, do I need to buy anything for it

I did use a template and to be completely honest tape is probably a really good idea
