Dissasembling a 12a
I've got a spare 12a with 140 XXX= kms on it. It's sitting beside my driveway with a tarp over it. I cranked it over by hand the first day I got it home, and water came out of the exhaust ports cause the previous owners didn't do a good enough job of covering it. But I din't buy it for the engine, I wanted the tranny and Weber carb / Rb header that was on it.
I guess I'll have to keep the engine, no one around me would want to buy an old rotary that doesn't run.
Should I disassemble it and store it in boxes?
Do I need any special tools to take it apart, or it it just simple nuts and bolts.?
If my current 12 a bit the bullet I would never just try to put this spare engine in it, cause I have no clue if it's any good. Maybe with it apart one day I will ports and rebuild it...

Flywheel wrench from RB is the only thing I bought to take it apart. If you have regular tools, you can take one apart easily.
Go ahead and disassemble it. If worse comes to worse and no one buys anything from it, it will still be atleast a learning experience.
But let me know if a housing is still in good shape

Throw engine in back of running car. Drive to local truck repair shop. Have them remove the flywheel nut and front pulley nut. Presto, hard stuff done. Those 1" drive 1500+ ft/lb impact wrenches have *zero* issues with the flywheel nut, no matter how long it's been rusted on.
