Fearsythe

Before anything is said, yes i did search and everything i looked at wasnt what i wanted.

Anyway, I found an 87 rx7 for sale. I talked to the guy and he said he didnt know if it need a new engine or not, but he explained that he was driving it and a water hose came off. Apparently he cooked the engine. I was wondering if it would be too hard to rebuild it, and what it would need. I know if you overheat a piston engine, it could just need a head gasket, etc., but i dont really know what all you would need for a rotary engine.

Id appreciate some help on this subject.

Thanks

It could just need new coolant jacket o-rings, but thats a best case senario and requires a rebuild, rebuild would be about 800 dollars bare minimum if you do it yourself which isnt to difficult if you have the tools space and know how.

why is it that a rebuild kit is like $800 when a JDM TII engine and tranny is only $1200? I would rather convert to turbo then rebuild an N/A

Sounds like a good idea. Just know that Jspec engines are pretty hit-and -miss, some drop in and run fine for a long time, others blow in a matter of weeks. So a lot of people just rebuild them anyway to be on the safe side.
