ive heard good and bad about them. Never heard bad things about oem or ceramics but ceramics can be over kill not to mention EXPENSIVE.

 

Atkins are trustworthy and goop once again is close to you. Of course I personally trust rx7specialties seals the most. The ones that broke on my engine were stock mazda seals.

 

Was told the goopy seals woundt be a good street seal. Might just stick with the RA stuff for this build and see How it works out. I'll talk to them about when I get my housings refinished but I would like to replace this N/A housing with a tII then shoot them down there also need to find a local place to lap my irons. I Wana get a set of Ito porting templates

 

Any seal will break if the engine isnt tuned right. Good luck yo.

 

How are the tips on the rotors? Be nice to get them housings resurfaced. The irons on the other hand, them things look baddd. whats the step wear on them bad boys.

 

rotor tips are good idk I can feel a decent line with my figuretip on the side I want to get them lapped im gonna bring every thing to judge ito to look over gonna buy some of his porting plates but yeah its gonna basically be everything new or resurfaced

 

So I did a ruff degreasing on everything, then packed it up to meet the Judge himself at his new shop Advanced Rotary Performance hes just moving in, but hes back and like 20 minutes from me in Paterson.
I contacted him the other day about some porting templates and housings Id like to purchase.
He replied quickly and gave me his number and new shops address.
We met up at the new shop hes renovating and he is very nice, I was there for over an hour talking rotary and hes very knowledgeable.
He inspected all my plates and housings for me.
Told me not to spend my money lapping the housings on my first build, that mine are in reuseable condition. God forbid some thing happened I wouldnt wana waste all that money. He said I should get more expeirience and confidence before spending the big bux on everything, I feel hes right. He said the ports are mild and could just use some minor touch up im gonna purchase some of his larger templates and purchase a pineapple exhuast template.
The housings are ok, Im gonna replace the rear one with one of Itos and keep the front even tho it has some very minor flaking in the compression area they both will be brought to John at Goopy for resurfacing.
Cant wait to start this build. Looking for alittle over 400whp. Ito sid thats fine for these irons anything more Id have to upgrade.
For now,
James

 

watching the maxdatrix video now and noticed my oil pump didnt have a splash guard on it it this a big deal?

 

Here are a bunch more pix I took this morning while doing a bit more ruff cleaning and inspecting. my rotor slots and oil ring passages still have to be cleaned and I wana clean the outside of the irons better to prep for paint and use Itos template to open them up a bit. The tII housing Im using is gonna get media blasted and resurfaced along with another Im gonna pick up from Ito. Theses will be getting a pineapple exhuast port.

Im waiting for paypay to transfer the money I made off my PFC and BNR turbo to my bank account, so I can get all this done and purchase my rebuild kit. Ill be in the market for a nice single when I get my taxes back and start working again

 

That is a lot of secondary port.

Just make sure to check the rotor grooves with a feeler gauge. Specs are in the Haynes. They wear into a sort of V shaped pattern. Excessive slop will wear the apex seal and rotor quickly.

 

oh this is what my thrust bearings and plate look like.

 

Aaron would you say its a large port? Ito said that they were mild. I also brought him my plates he said they were fine to reuse as is and and suggested being my first rebuild to leave them be and clean up the seconaries and advised me not to spend the money on lapping and nitrating. I will be checking all clearances once I finish cleaning everything better
thanks

after talking to John at Goopy I just might be building myself a goopy street motor....

 

After along day its been sorted Ill be building a Goopy street motor
build thread time

 

Looks pretty big to me. About the size of the RB "race" turbo port. Not saying that's bad, just that they are big.

 

My rear rotor bearing started to walk and I had some sort of oil issue to the bearings. They were all copper.
John at goopy said its a good thing I blew it before the bearing completely **** out because I'd be in it for alot more.
Everything happens for a reason
I believe the engine blew do to a walking CAS, I found the bolt loose upon disassembly.
According to Ito you will not break a seal the way I did due to a lean issue only a timing. So ruled out a fuel failure.
I will still be testing all of my fuel components.
