rot808 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 some pictures too show that im lazy, but not too lazy tinkering with things getting ready for motor in time, de air conditioned also my 13bt, back together again after replacement of inlet/turbo gaskets, bearings and de emissioned etc motor and gearbox now i just got to hope the block isnt stuffed, has good compression and what not only real issue will be if water seals are perished or not. but if its stuffed its stuffed,and if so time for a rebuild, which i wont mind having a go at anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rot808 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 one step closer to rotreeness ps motor on a lean because i have to make an extension for the gearbox crossmember, reason being rx7 gbox crossmember mount position to the tunnel is different between the auto and manual, if that makes sense, so yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rot808 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 burnouts in an effort to break more stuff SUCCESS by way of; clutch, now have new average looking trademe clutch floor where gbox bolts to speedo cable, only tough guys break these and engine, oil seals to be specific extent of oil dispersion throughout intake, awesome will pull down and assess how good/totally stuffed insides are later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rot808 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 motor = apart good; rotors are mint, enplates are goodish cond (might need a skim), um thats about it bad; 1 housing is junk other is borderline and probably wont use it, oil pump is junk, all seals are borderline to fail so none will be used again, corner seal springs were all flat and/or jammed, a myriad of other minor things so all in all i have success in conquering/destroying rotary engine will decide what im going to do with motor later cbf with pictures use your imagination cunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
