01-02-09 Update: So you will not be required to read through all the posts the following is a synopsis:
The pricing is as follows:
$100 for blueprint service on the oil pump
$130 for external bypass valves (Sorry everyone, the company that makes the PRV had a slight price increase for 2009 so the price went from $125 to $130....I held them to the wall as much as possible and split the increase! I am able to keep the oil pump service at the 2008 price for now....)
If purchasing together I will include modifying the oil pump to work with an external bypass valve!
UPDATE 10-22-09 ANY ORDER IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WILL RECEIVE A FREE HAT!!
You should be able to source your own sandwich plates, hoses, and bung for the MBSP or pan.

7.recording post-coating specs
8.reassembly of your pump
Shipping cost back to you is determined by where you are located. You will receive with your pump a copy of the specs.
The current turn-around time is 3 weeks including the time at Swain Tech.

From this time on if a pump is received that requires cleaning prior to disassembly there will be an additional $50 charge!!
Please understand, the coating company would not even accept a dirty pump much less try to coat it! When it comes to engine assembly the cleaner the parts and the surroundings the better the chance for long engine life!!
Thanks Crazee D !!!!!
Well due to the number of requests I see that the first information session will be on what we have learned about the FS-DE oiling system.
For those who are unaware, I wrote an article covering part of this subject in the latest Mazdasport Magazine. Here is a draft.
See below
As you probably already have determined, the oiling system in the FS-DE is marginally sufficient for a street car and desperately insufficient for a race car. One of the main problems is that with sustained rpms the placement of the pressure relief valve in the oil pump causes significant cavitation and further loss of oil pressure. Another major problem is the small size of the oil pan and the subsequent high likelyhood for the pick-up to become "uncovered". Finally, the last major problem is that the rods take their oil supply from the main bearings through pick-ups in the crank.
We have come up with a SYSTEM to help try to DEAL with these problems. Some of these problems are inherent in the design of the motor and would take high dollars to solve. I also stress a system, because simply adding our improved oil pump may help to a point but we have found the SYSTEM has given us much improved engine life (read bearing life)!
Of course, the heart of the sytem is our improved oil pump. Along with it is our externally adjustable oil pressure bypass, a gated increased volume oil pan, an engine block oil filter relocation adapter, and an external oil filter mount. As you can see, with this system you can adjust your oil pressure to the range you need it externally. This will allow you to compensate for several factors including the type and grade of oil you are using and the bearing clearance you are running (to a point).
Here is a pic of the system as installed on our race car.
Inside the box is the external oil pressure adjuster
For a diagram of the system look at #284 on page 19
