A friend of mine had a '88 rx7 which blew an apex seal according to him and he pulled the motor and then decided it was too much work for him. I couldn't stand to see the car go to some redneck junkyard so he gave it to me for basically free. Now, the thing is I have no idea what to do, where to start...anything, I completely disassembled the motor and cleaned it at my family's motor rebuild shop, but now what? Where can I go for step by step directions?

 

goto teamfc3s.org and download the factory service manual, it guides you through a rebuild.

 

even more important than that, go to some place (like atkinsrotary.com), and buy the "Bruce Turrintine's: How to Overhaul Your Mazda 13b Rotary Engine" Link - http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/cu...cat=567&page=1 it's 30 bucks, you have the choice between VHS and VCD, so I got the VCD, and played it on my laptop down in the cellar while i rebuilt the engine. It allowed me to successfully rebuild my engine, which i'm up to 225 miles on (first run was sunday night)

I got my seal kit from rotaryaviation (rotaryaviation.com), although there's a ton of places to get seal kits and such.and you're going to have to get a set of micrometers and calipers to make sure your rotors, housings, etc is within spec.

 

good idea. didnt think about that
