88 tII question
 

Im looking at a 88 TII with 90 miles upgrades included a hks catback, downpipe, midpipe fuel cut defender with a greddy profec boost controller. I dont rember what fuel management it runs but he is asking 2500 for it the only problem he says it has is a carbed rear rotor , what exactly is meant by this is it just a large carbon depsoit preventing the rotor from turning or is it more serious

Thank You

sounds like a really good deal, except for the rotor thing. I would just give it a good 5 redlines to clean out the carbon :)

Probably a thing called carbon lock. A large deposit of carbon comes loose from the rotor and wedges itself b/t the apex seal and the rotor housing. Locks the engine up. I have no experience with this problem. Just know what it is. Can't do the rotor housing any good in my humble opinion.

sorry just read my post it actually has 90k on the motor and car but its in good shape.
Is carbon lock usally mean a full rebuild or can i tear the engine down and get it cleaned
