I got my rx-7 for my birthday. It needs a lot of help. I changed fuel pump and fuel filter. I found out that I have water in my oil I am tearing the motor apart.
I plan to change apex seals and oil ring but what could it be.






Thanks for the help.

 

A little more info on the car would help...

what exactly is wrong with the car? why are you tearing the motor apart?

Change the oil first?

 

When I got the car they said it was over heating. I am tearing it apart to change the apex seals. I changed the oil and the started it back up again it ran for a little while then stoped it always does that and it smokes realy bad. What's not rong with the car.

 

Well dont take my word, but i almost bought an RX-7 from a guy that would run his t2, it would overheat, turn off, then 20 min. later he could drive it again. Ends up i didn't buy it because the car was going to detonate really soon. But dont take my word because i dont know to much, your problem sounds like the guy i almost bought the car from.

 

Oh..his didn't smoke though.

 

If you have water in your oil (how are you confirming this?) then the most likely cause is the coolant o-rings that seal the rotor housings to the intermediate and end plates. The seal may just be compromised, or the car may have been overheated. If it was overheated that badly, then most of the engine is probably junk since the plates probably warped...

 

I don't know how bad it was overheated. I know the radiator had two huge holes in it so I bought a new one.

I almost ready to pull the engine out I have taken a lot off like the pullys and i am to the timing chain.

I will find a lot out when I get to the rotors.

Thanks for all the help I will let you know more when I get to the rotors.
