Is that an RX-8 rotor?

ray green 07-08-08 03:29 PM

I hate when that happens. The camshaft must be totally screwed.

blackdeath647 07-08-08 05:39 PM

oh shit dude, did any of your piston rings break or anything? are those good?.....i still hate it for you tho, .... did the v-tec kick in a bit too strong?

jonvo4591 07-08-08 07:17 PM

that's what happens. the rotary sees a boinger part and swallows it whole...


or almost whole...

FirebirdSlayer666 07-08-08 08:10 PM

Whole new meaning to the words "Rotary Valve"

mazdaverx713b 07-09-08 02:16 AM

just a flesh wound. pry that valve out of there, splash some beer on the rotor and hit it with a hammer a couple of times and it'll be as good as new!
