I know it's out of context but this is a FAMILY oriented forum.

 

Yeah, no ****! I just want to know what the seal thought of the whole thing!

how would i get that engine from GA though

 

family oriented, what are you talking aboot??? i blew a oil controle seal what the heck are you talking aboot.. OH MY GAWD YOU SICKO I MENT ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!!!

 

its ok, everytime someone says "blew a seal" they go crazy cause most people on here (myself included) are immature.

 

it was funny though.

 

haha, of course it is. He just seemed freaked out by it so I was explaining why.

 

so anywayz i was being a smart *** i said what i ment
n-e-wayz my friend found a 12A that was very well maintained then they sold the car and the kid they sold it too crashed it and they go it back and want $100 for the engine and tranny. now heres the problem. it had a small oil leak between the plates when it was crashed a year ago. and the engine is susposed to run fine, but hasent ran in a year. what should i do????

 

Tell them you're doing them a favor and just take it free of charge. haha

 

i wish it was that easy but they bought the car back as in to make some more money off it. i guess they parted it out and still have the engine

 

haha..it could be that easy, it all depends on how far you want to "bend" the law. lol

 

funny.

$100 for a running engine and tranny is fine.

 

hmmmm n-e-1 have a car for sale yet??

 

I know you're from the US, but rotaryengine.ca offers 12A rebuilt motors from $1500 CDN. That's a huge savings for all you yankees out there. The motors come with a one-year warranty, so there is a drawback to the pinapple 2yr. I have heard nothing but good things about them and their engines though. It might be worth taking a look.

 

i tried that web site but it wouldn't work will you gimmie a link?

 

can't anyone help a brotha out?

 

Well, I found it...I think.

http://www.rotaryengine.com/

Theyre in Canada, so I guess its the same place, but none of their links work.

EDIT: Ok, so the site does work...Except the links point to the old www.rotaryengine.ca server, but if you just change the ".ca" to ".com" in the address, you can see the pages...

Example:

When you click a link, you see this in the address bar:
http://www.rotaryengine.ca/generation.htm

But its supposed to read this:
http://www.rotaryengine.com/generation.htm

So if you just change the address like that, you can see the pages. A webmaster somewhere just slacked off .

 

Oh yeah, and the price on their website is $1480 CDN for a rebuild 12A (79-85). Thats $940.34 USD, as opposed to the $1055 USD they quote on their site because the exhange rate is currently 1.5 (1.573900 actually), not the 1.40 they mention on their site.
