Well i got board and tore down my extra engine which is a 66k mile core pulled from a auto rx7...i will tell the story with the pics

Yippie on the bucket and ready to pop it open


All thru bolts out and damm excited to pop the cover and see the condition


There is the rotor all looks good so far!!!!!


I guess it really has 66k miles, usally u never see the plugs in the corner seals


Apex Seals appear to have like No ware


More to come soon

 

Yippe the end plates have like to ware or step edge ware all coolent walls in good shape


YESSS THE BEST PART!!! the rotor housing looks great only minimual chrome chipping on the edge what u would expect on a 66k mile engine



I progress onn



So far everthing is good shape 2 rotors, all end plates Stat gears!! looking good im happy till UMMMMMM

this las rotor housing!!!

masssssive chrome chippin, i wish it dident have this because the rest of it is in such great shape



not reusable, ummm well i allready orderes some replacements incase i can use it...

will most of the engine waz in good condition

o whell


peaceee

Dustin

(gimmme core i loveee to take them apart!!!!!)

 

how did the apex seals look?

 

good, there is a pic of them up above

 

Wow.. not bad.. only one housing bad..

 

jesus im an idiot

 

find all your not so good condition parts, and put together an engine

 

what u mean, why would i make a motor outta bad parts

 

Port the hell out of that motor and keep it as a spare, in case "it" happens.

 

haha, why the sigh?

I tore down my 'spare block' and found out that ALL the side-seals were literally FUSED into their slots, lol. As in, you couldn't even differentiate where the slots WERE... It was just a flat surface with no trace of seals, lol. Oh yeah, NOTHING was reusable except the e-shaft (whoop-dee-doo)

Looks good, time for some porting practice, eh Dustin?

 

It seems like you have the most fun man, im jealous.

 

use all your questionable parts and put together a motor
put it in a car and use it as the beater

 

practice exhaust porting on that EFFED rotor housing.

i had 2 to practice on and my exhaust porting looks great.

 

ooo, makes sense, yea erik i wanna build this motor either a large street port or a 1/3 bridge, i wanna be able to build a engine that will 200 at the rear wheels, but i want it to be able to run on the stock ECU for awhile till i can do some Crazy mods.. i just wish that one housing wasent bad, but o well i have more coming !!!! that can be a porting pratice one

 

dont do a 1/3 bridge... just do a large streetport.

 

Just a slight clarification. You can't prove a low mileage engine just because the rubber plugs are still there. I can't recall ever taking one apart that didn't have the rubber plugs. Even my own engine, with 260K on the clock still had rubber plugs (in great shape, I might add).

Though I must say, the engine looks to be in generally good shape. That's the cleanest set of rotors I've seen in a while.

 

^^ on the other hand, my 60k ish blwon jspec had the rubber plugs all gone....

 

my 215k engines' plugs were there, technically.. there were little barrels of extremely hard black rubber, where the plugs should have been

 

Both my engines, 150k possibly rebuilt (hard to say) and 130k not rebuilt both had the rubber plugs present still.

Don't do a bridge unless you're going carb or standalone, preferably standalone. "Large" streetports are not always best either, it's about efficiency! Just do a good port and set everything else up based on what kind of port you decide to do.

 

i guess i waz wrong about the plugs lol, ill measure up the hardseals soon and post up the results
