drool.....keep up the good work...hope we bump into eachother one day so u can give me some of that talent lol

 

thats nuts man...awesome job

 

you definitely qualify for the coolest 15yr old i've ever met. In 6 years I'll buy ya a beer for a job well done. When I was 15 I heard my father say that rebuilding rotaries was black magic; he's a great tech, but I have learned over the years that I have outdistanced him. I still owe him everything though.

 

it does take some patience, most techs do not have the patience or the willingness to take on a unique engine like a rotary. for the most part only people who like to tinker and figure out how things work are the ones who get into rebuilding rotaries, once you got it there is nothing to it.

 

make that 2 beers in 6 years. thats alot of talent. i mean at 15 i was building computers, but damn you have been building car. thanks for making me look bad.......great job by the way.

 

Keep it up, dawg.

 

i just did the math the build came to


521.49 with hylomar and RVT,(paint and masking tape not in the price)

 

right on, cheaper than mine, now lets see whose lasts longer right? I was only 20 when i tackled my first rotary! My bro is rebuilding his first at 18, but you still got him beat too....damn. Good work man, keep us updated dude,

and you can make that three beers in 6 years...

 

nice job ive seen it in person...... hey gus got his motor and i will be porting/rebuilding hi old s5 na motor after i paint the FD. hey give gus a call he wants to view your rebuild tape as do i !

 

Great job, I can't wait to get started on my rebuild too!

 

i'll buy you a 5th of jagermeister if you rebuild one for me! lol

nice job, always good to see a techhead growing at a young age!

 

Did you use any assembly lube or oil on the bearings? I didn't see any. If that's the case, make SURE you crank the engine enough to build oil pressure on your initial startup. I HOPE that you at least put Vascelene on them.

Vascelene is a great tool to hold the seals in the rotors, but it's a poor lubricant. Proper assembly lube or thick engine oil should be used.

 

I used a 50/50 mix of STP oil treatment and 20w50 as an assembly lube. I also used that Marvels mystery oil. Two squirt cans at Harbor Freight=$4.00

 

Wow, Good job!!! If i only had the space to do a rebuild. Dont think my landlord would be too happy if i rebuilt on his new hardwood floors....

 

Hell, your in Hawaii. Just hang a tarp up outside some where to keep the rain off. Plant a gaunga weed next to the motor so any thieves take it instead of your motor parts.

 

hehe, i did lube the bearings with vasoline. i plan to crank it with the egi removed to get the oil around then put the egi fuse back in and hopefully firev her up.. the plan is to hav her runnin on tues or wed

 

Wow, apple pie is only $2.99!

Great job

 

Great job on your first rebuild. Make that, you're getting trashed on your' 21'st

 

Thats not a bad idea.
And gj with the rebuild.

 

Excellent work...makes me want to start MY rebuild already. Add another beer (Canadian) in six years.

 

i'll buy u a few drinks when i head up........probably within 6 years....of course i wont offer it to u...i'll just leave it on the table..and if u do happen to drink it...ohh well

 

toren bring me sodas not beers hehehe

 

Hey Felix, how did you do the rebuild for so cheap? I just got a j-spec motor that I need to rebuild, and it is gonna be my first rebuild too, but I thought the rebuild kit alone cost 900 bucks? How did you get it done for less than 600? I checked RA and Atkins and the kit at both was about 900? Let me know, if I can do mine for cheaper that would be great!

 

awesome job man, congrats on the re-build
