i have a 1988 gxl, it failed a compression check, and wont run without holding the accelerator down... i live in central virginia, near roanoke. what other places besides atkins rotary will rebuild or sells the kit for the rebuild, and if anyone knows any shops around here that does it, info would be helpful, thanks.

 

also could it be anything besides the engine?

 

do a search for "Rotary Resurrection" here on the forum. Good price for a good rebuilt engine. It's located about 20 miles away from Nashville, TN.

 

Yup, I just ordered an engine from him as well. Great pricing and doesn't seem to BS you when you ask him questions. Should have mine in about 2-3 weeks (N/A to T2 upgrade)!

 

its easier to just do the core exchange than rebuilding it, and about the same on funds...well minus the shipping its usually the sameish. rebuilding is fun and a good learning experience from what ive heard tho, so dont rob yourself of that....

 

Actually, Im not near nashville, but halfway between bristol TN/VA and knoxville TN. I'm about 3-3.5 hours from roanoke, not a bad drive at all.

I could probably do the rebuild/install on your car for $1600, or $1800 with a moderate streetport, provided you get the car here, and are willing to leave it for about 2-3 weeks. I have a few friends in Charlottesville, I can put you in touch with them if you'd like references other than what you can find on this forum.

BTW, check out the webpage, www.rotaryresurrection.com

 

oooh! Nice signature!

 

'cept for those 'necky trucks!

 

Be nice rxse7en he does live in the country and most likely has a use for them...:P

 

if you live in va, nc, or tn....its in our blood to have at least one truck. oh yeah kevin landers....ive heard nothin but good reviews out of you, so ill be giving you a call tonight about 7pm est if thats straight?

 

Yo! Watch it auto!

 

This would include hauling rxse7en's *** back and forth to applebee's

 

kevins got my engine right now. I think he's getting busier and busier as the months go on. I'll probably see my engine in about a week to 2 weeks..oh the waiting...

 

Please stop alluding to any relationship between our persons.

 

k thilly goothes

 

In all seriousness, Kev's your man.

 

I'll 2nd, 3rd, and 4th that. He's a guru, and got great prices, too.
Uh, Kevin, you need to cut down on sleep and bathroom breaks, I got an Na that needs your attention and waiting an entire week is starting to suck.......

 

sounds like it

 

I forgot to mention that he also is building an NA engine for me. getting it SP'd

 

One word of warning...when leaving Kevin's house, one must back up a driveway negotiating an elaborate series of strategically place yard lights, which only an experienced auto-X'er can expect to successfully complete. I only took out ONE, 'cause to quote 'Rainman', " Of course, I'm an excellent driver..."

 

haha

 

Those are not placed for backing up...notice I always leave in a forward motion...

 

Oh hell, thanks..NOW you tell me!!
