my rebuild process..update

heres the previous post
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ebuild+process


Well heres the updated pics of my build.










Got new seals from rotaryaviation. Great people to deal with. I bought the basic kit from them for 795CDN (504US). Got everything you need for the build except side seals, corner seals and chain I reused mine since they were in spec. I paid 26US extra for the chain though.

Did a whole lot of cleaning. That took the longest time to do. Did a really small port job since its my first time on the dremel, so next time ill do a bigger.

Will be putting in the engine, once I get the cherry picker here and the tb, intake etc..all tranfered to the rebuild. Ill keep posted.

it'll look good until you get oil or some solvent on it, then the paint comes off. I learned that the hard way.

Not if you use engine paint. the high temp stuff with ceramic in it works best. And once it get hot. Its on there, for good.

Paint.

If you want permanent paint, go get some Por15, that stuff needs to be baked on but it's not going anywhere.

My point exactly. Been doing these for a long time. Getting tired of the 3-4 hours of scrubbing. If someone has a good simpler way, I am all for it.
