Hey all, I'm fairly new here and I'm gona be replacing my rotary, apex and all the other seals in my '85 12A. I know ''get the 13b'' right? Well I just wanna get it running for now, anyway I just wanted to ask you guys if there's anything I should watchout for and what brand seals I should get. anything you think I should know, please post.
Thanks

 

Show us pix of a 12b thats a very unique engine..........

 

oops lol sorry its a 12A...hehe my bad

 

Just tugging your chain man, Is there a reason you are rebuilding the engine?

 

Hey Aussie, he did say 12A unless he went an edit it. Just kidding and did you ever get those NGK blues I sent you sometime ago?

 

yeah, I edited it. And I'm rebuilding it 'casue thats what I'm assuming whats wrong...should I look for something else?

 

He did an Edit, yeah they are great, nice strong spark with the 2GCDFIS.........

 

Before you rebuild, has it run lately, what symptoms is it showing, I've brought many 12as back from the dead,

 

well I got it for my B-day and I'm not even sure if it'll turnover, it came in a few pieces but I'll try to get it together and let you guys know....as far as I know the guy before me bought it as a parts car and hasin't started it for at least a year

 

Before you start it, see how long it has sat around, if its more than 12 months, do a search on how to start an engine that has sat around, mainly dump old fuel (you may have a drain underneath tank in an 85) add new pump it through lines (disconnect fuel line at carb) then change fuel filter, then add some MMO into engine through carb and turn it over by the bolt on the front pulley by hand several times, crank it and when it fires it will smoke (a lot) after the smoke cleans up change plugs, wires, oil and oil filter, do this procedure in this exact order so you dont foul the new filter and plugs.

 

alright, thanks....I'll try that next warm day I get here hehe

 

I'm not too far away, let me know when you want to try to get it running...

 

Wow sweet, I'll definetly let you know...do you have AIM or MSN?
