whats up guys Im new to the forum I have a 1990 gxl Igot at a good deal because it had been sitting. Ive got someone putting racing beat exhaust and cold air intake on as well as fixing any other problems. Ive enjoyed reading and learning how to be a rotorhead

 

welcome to the rotary world of problems

 

sitting rotary, ugh. Hate to say it but it most likely will blow its seals

 

compression check was good It did sit for about 3 months. if it runs good now will it still likely blow a seal ? Ineed all the help I can get THANKS EVERYONE

 

No man! It won't blow a seal! It will blow THREE of them! he he he, just kidding! If it passed compression it should do fine. Go start on the mods to IMHO! Welcome to "Rotary Hell", be afraid, be very afraid

 

If it has only been sitting 3 months, then don't worry too much about it...6 months or greater is when you might want to start to worry.

 

If u really want to open the gates of rotary hell then go for the turbo upgrade...... ......welcome to our world...... u know what they say misery loves company

 

if its been sitting a while, its probbly a good idea to give it the ATF treatment.

 

Open a new bank account, and start putting money in it every week, call it your new engine fund. Every rotary owner should have one.

 

hm... i need 1750 moneys for my car.. maby ill open my "new engine fund"

 

hehe, yeah, welcome to our world. Get in, Sit down, SHUT UP, And HOLD ON! Hope you have fun.

No, it is a BAD idea to use the ATF treatment UNLESS the engine is flooded or carbon locked.

 

i wouldn't do atf unless started above as aaron said i've also used it to try to regain compression on a low compression motor. other than that don't use it it's not worth it it doesn't do anything on a healthy motor. congrats on the new purchase may your rotor days be long! i wouldn't worry about the seals or anything as long as the compression check checked out.

 

i got a question.....what is atf.....even i havent got all these agros down yet or maybe its jus my short term memory problem.....what was i asking again.....
