Cleaning internals?
For those of you who have rebuilt a rotary, what is the best thing to use to get the carbon and other crap off of the rotors, housings, etc? I'm doing the budget rebuild, checking all clearances and reusing anything I can, so I need to clean the seals and other parts I don't need to get new.
Btw, keep your flames to yourself, As soon as I swap this motor with the one in the car to drive it, I will be rebuilding and porting the other, so I'm trying to stay as cheap as possible. If it lasts three months and I'm done with the other motor, fine.

Absolute Power is Awesome
It's been discussed on this forum a couple of times before, and I've used it on my intake manifold, automatic transmission fluid. Let it sit on carbon overnight and then brush it off with a stiff brush. It's great stuff.

Yup, a little solvent, a stiff bristle brush and some elbow grease works every time.
Nothing wrong with the budget rebuild if you adhere to specs. I've seen some cheapskate rebuilds last a long time and make some decent power. Feel better, now?

I did a test with atf and mmo. I soaked one carbon baked rotor in each for about a week (supposed to have been 1 day but it got cold as **** here) and the atf didnt touch it , the one soaked in mmo was supprisingly clean enough to just wipe off the gunk (carbon) and it is now shiney again. So mmo is now my new best friend (and it smells like peppermints for al of those that allow there wives in the shop while they are working.).
