breaking down spare engine

I picked up engine that had just been rebuilt. They said they tired to start it and it froze up.

well broke it down and found the rear housing a massive scrape. I kept all the parts together and found it was miss on the triangle pieces from the 3 piece apex seal. I later found it embedded into the rotor face. the front rotor was fine

LOL you could very easy fit 3 13b blocks in the trunk of the cosmo I would even bet you could get 2 20b blocks in there. It is really huge. here we dont get have as man cars as we want, so I dont have parts truck, but with cardboard and blankets you can easy carry a 13b block in the Cosmo
