pics after engine teardown(good or bad???)
here is the pick of the front iron im hoping that this can be fixed with some jb-weld or equivelent. it got damaged when the engine fell off the come-along.
and the other one is the housing both housings look about the same but i think this is the worst one do u guys think its reusable???

how many miles on the motor?
that part that broke off looks like its the hole where the alternator mounts. i'd jb weld it back if your tight on money. imo
read this over and you'll know

has far as i know its got 220000 miles on it and the front rotor lost compression and the rear still ahd good compression when i took it apart. the housing in the pick was originally thought to be bad corner seals but when i pulled the rotor the apex seals were broken ..i was hoping it could be saved cause im on a small budget and just want to get her running..
but mostly cause i live in a small town where noone knows what the heck an rx7 engine is and it will be a pain to find good housings and irons

Its really hard to judge housings from a photo.
If you drag you fingernail over the compression surface, does it catch your nail?
The chrome flaking doesnt look too bad from that photo, but if they are gouged from a blown seal, Id scrap em.
As for the iron, used ones are a dime a dozen. Just put a WTB add up or browse a little bit.
