Blown motor, Tear down time.
On a side note,
All those v8's have homes
.
However those nasty coolant passages were only in my bad housing, the rest are pretty clean. How the hell is that possible? lol.

not to beat a dead horse but you should throw a V8 in there.... NOT a puny 302, NOT an iron block sbc or sbf, but an all aluminum, super-short overall height, super awesome 6-speed LS1T56 setup in your T2 shell.
man, even I dont think I would build a V8 RX7 wth either of those V8's you have layng around. even if they were free. why? the FC is such a nice chassis, it should be given the LS1 motor... small size but big power, stock!
BUT, I would build another LS1FC if I had the money... mine ******' rips.
anyhow, good luck with your turbo rotary. heh.

Back on topic, those coolant passages are gross, wtf is that? And crap man, the engine got torn up bad, that really sucks.
Why the hell would someone use block weld in this motor? Its coolant seals were just fine.
I know. The guy I bought it from blew out the turbo, a it was only a bit of white smoke showing at startup. The owner before him must have put block weld in assuming it was the water seals, not the turbo. Idiots.
Oh well, glad I tore it down.
