Is it rebuildable?
Buddy of mind killed his 12a in his drift car but wasn't sure why it stopped and wouldn't start. Im thinking he blew a coolant seal? Im wondering if I should put the money into rebuilding it (was thinking a soft seal rebuild and new corner seals). Also trying to figure out a good way to clean the inside of the housing, cant seem to find a local ultrasonic cleaner thats big enough

it looks rebuildable from those pics... that rotor bearing looks odd though

New bearings are on the "what to buy" list.
Maybe Ill go downstairs and spray the housings down best I can and see how well that does.
I figure the aluminum housings cant be hot bathed but what about the the end and center plates?
Elwood, the things my GF comes home to already is bad enough but I might try that! She wasnt very impressed when our apartment reaked of oil from the 12a sitting on the coffee table xD

Im assuming it did to be honest. It fell right out when I pulled the rotor from the motor while the other is still in there. (its my first time taking apart one of these lol)
Im really hoping I dont need new Apex Seals, without me having to look would you know how tall they should be?
