5th and 6th port

Hey guys, just bought my first RX-7!

Looking into the engine bay I noticed that my 5th and 6th port actuators are non-existant. Looks like the first owner got rid of them. Why? Don't ask me...

The "lever" that opens the valve on the front rotor feels "loose" while the one on the rear rotor feels "hard". Valves broken?

What do you guys think? Get new actuators/valves? New air pump? I can use as much advice as you can give me since this is the first rotary I've ever had. I wanted to get pictures since they are more easy to understand.

Thanks for the advice.

Will

By the way the car is a 91' GTU.

i doubt the hard one is broken probly just alot of carbon keeping it from turning. id spray some penetrating oil on the shaft to hopefully free it up or something. if the actuators are missing just go to a junkyard and get the 2. is there even an airpump on it?

I was reading the repair manual of the car and it said something about an air pump or air something...might be me though...

FC's don't end up in junkyards around here often...I'll make some calls and see what happens

thanks

The air pump actuates the 5/6th ports.
