I just finished rebuilding a 13bt that I'm swapping into my 86' Gxl. I've never worked on a piston motor, so I wouldn't know which one is easier to rebuild. But I must say after seeing all the parts that go into the rotary engine I really came to appreciate the engineering that wen into these motors!! I know understand whats going on in the engine a bit more and what each component does. If you ever get the chance rebuild your engine, you will feel very proud. Now lets hope my car runs well

Niiiiiiiiiiice! Gunmetal and Red... looks awesome! Did ya port it? I'm rebuilding mine, er, having it rebuilt, and can't decide if i want to port it or not. It's gotta be my DD for at least two more years till I graduate and get a real job finally, so I don't want a blown up motor in a year. On the other hand, I don't expect it to blow up and could really use the extra horsepower.... my two cents...

edit: need the extra horsepower

edit2: want the extra horsepower

Good for you. Any more info on the parts/seals etc. you used? Did you use a video to help? Either way, congrats on the first build!

I used atkins apex seals, fd corner seal, new corner seal plugs, oem coolant seals, ect. I didnt but the kit, I just ordered what I needed. I'm not a baller so I used Kevin Landers write-up on rebuilding engine, and it helped seeing what could be reused. I also purchased a Bruce Turrentine video, which really helped allot. I set up tv in the garage (my stepdaughters Dora the Explorer t.v). And just followed step by step.
