Engine Rebuild
I posted a few weks ago saying I threw an apex seal. It ruined the housing, and rotor of course.
I got another motor from a freind for free but i dont think that it is an 84 like my other one. The combustion chambers on the rotors are shaped differently, although the rotors are the exact same size.
Can I use one of these rotors in my 84 engine? or will that hurt it?
My oter rotor housing is also showing signs of seal "chattering" so i might swap out both housings for the ones from the other motor which i am assuming is an 82 or older.

You can swap both of them over but you must also swap the front counterweight and rear counterweight/flywheel. Use the housings as well if they're in better condition.

you also need to look at the letter that is stamped on the rotor bc i beleive the you can ones that are only 1 letter apart either up or downso if its a "B" you can either way, so for an "A" or a "C"

REVHED is right, I read through the post too fast the first time to catch this line:
