the lower intake is off. as well as the header and one apex seal went out. the rotor looks to have some damage on it and I can feel some scoring on the rear housing. getting the hoist tomorrow, guess today, and will have it on an engine stand. I willbe asking for alot of help from you rotor heads who have rebuilt engines.
there is a small voice inside my head that keeps telling me you get a 13bt, v3 megasquirt, and FMIC. I will figure out what to do by the conditions of housings.

hey, if the apex seal side pieces (little triangular corners of the apex seals) are the same as those in a 12A, and you aren't going to reuse them, please let me know because i need them for my gokart engine. Turns out it can use 12A seals, i just need these end pieces. PM me if you have some, thanks alot, and sorry to thread jack a bit lol

It is out of the car! Thank you Rob for the hoist. I owe you alot. here are some pics
little but of lucas gear oil everywhere. nothing better than breaking the lease on your rental with doing an engine swap
I already had someone PM me about the housings. I will tear it down tomorrow.

Hmmm I haven't used one of them when pulling my engine and trans together. I just lift the engine from the front and allow the front of the engine to come out of the engine bay at a heavy angle. Tranmission follows, then with a helper you can move them through the air and reangle them to put them on the ground, bench, engine stand or whatever.
Not saying that my method is the best, but it's just an alternative.
Also is that a snap-on dead blow style hammer I see? Excellent choice of tools, I have a 24 oz. ball peen one and I love it, expensive but worth it.

dude that mileage on his ORIGINAL motor is good, in my opinion. i have riden with eric and that motor was never babied, he pushed that thing to the max.
he was just sitting at a light and it died, when he cranked it back up he heard a loud ting and then only one rotor was firing. just dumb luck i guess.

Well I didnt push it to the max all the time, gotta get good gas milage somehow. usually shifted at 3000 rpm. I maintianed it well. changed the oil before 3000 miles. I think the timming was too advanced at idle because I was getting misfire at low rpm. I Cant sure because i never got a timming light on it. I didnt put alot of miles on it since i got it at 95,000 almost 2 years ago.
Anyways alot of the parts will be forsale soon. Upper/Lower intakes, fuel rail, water pump, air control solenoids (rats nest). everything is in good working order and organized.

yeah sam your right. it does look very lean. I wish I had the chance to put a 5 gas analizer on it. Now I know better. I am researching the megasquirt II v3 and think I hope to set that up soon.
ill post up the forsale thread here. I have a bunch of perfectly good parts that I plan on cleaning and including the mounting hardware and all. keep a look out.

well if you help me out mocking up a mustang II or some other type of rack and pinion steering box then you can have dibs on the powersteering box. I am talking to a guy with a S4 but he isnt quick on the replies to the PMs. I want to have a motor next month.
