Tore my 13bt down yesterday. Lots of sharp things! I cut open the webbing of my thumb on the eshaft, and have slices all over my fingers form the apex seals. Those things were like razors!

 

I was thinking about using the apex seals as a razor, good idea or no?

 

Maybe you're a bit clumsy, you should wear gloves, dude. With my bare hands I tore down and rebuilt a whole 13B and I may have only had one or two minor scrapes to show for it...

As for razor blades, ha, crazy enough it might just work!

 

old apex seals make great rotor scraping cleaning tools

 

If you think apex seals are sharp, wait until you get your hands on a new set of oil o-ring carriers..

 

i've sliced my fingers on the outside edge of housings before

 

hey there is always a right of passage to owning a rx7...getting hurt working on it or...going through all the mazda problems to get it running good enough to ejoy it im going through it but sadly my friend failed the test and is selling his seven to get a cressida. :[

oh well, it just means he wasnt man enough to take the challenge of mazda/rotary haha
