hi guys i'm new to the forums and just recently baught a RX7 and according to the last owner it's gonna need a new gasket in one of the housings cause it's starting to leak coolant into the motor.

i was wondering how hard could that be? i herd i'll have to pull the motor in order to do this, but that don't look all that hard neither. i also herd it's hard to get a gasket set for rotary motors any more.

was wondering if someone here who has already accomlished this task could shoot me a few pointers

thanks, flatz

 

Not hard to get gasket set. If you have ever rebuilt an engine before you will be fine if not get some friends that have to help.

 

well thats good news about the gaskets. as for the rebuilding an engine i can do that. so it's not that much different from a regular engine? i don't know....i never worked on a rotary motor before.

so i really have to pull the engine and all?

thanks, flatz

 

No it is VERY different but you need to keep the same practices when rebuilding: Take your time, observe tolerences, be very clean, follow directions to the letter.

 

alright thanks for advice so far. i'll post some more as soon as i open her up, and most definetly if i get lost
