question
should you be able to turn an rx7 engine using a socket and pry bar on the main pulley....if yes then this makes two engines to crap out on me in less than a year. the red one in late december and my 91 saturday.........saturday i went to crank it,it made a noise like it was going to start then it made some loud clicks (2 to be exact) then a heartrenching clunk and when silent. it has not been my year....hahahahahaha
is it possible to be too hard on a rotary?

 

Yep, with a 3/4" (19mm) socket, and a half inch breaker bar, she should be fairly easy to turn from that front bolt...

 

You can even turn over the engine taking the little 10mm nuts off the fan.

Was this last motor a rebuild or a used J-spec?

Put it in 4th & push the car backwards & forwards - you might get lucky.
Those two loud clicks don't sound good..

 

original motor........120xxx hahahahaha i know it was just a matter of time.....this is just the third fc for me in three years

1) 87 tii - heater hose burst on the freeway while in traffic-engine warped
2) 87 gxl-was at my girlfriends house hanging out decide to go get some take out(loud pop on start up followed by rough idle -blown apex seal 0 copression rear
3)91 -again at the girlfriends going to rent a movie at blockbuster-click click clunk

so is it possible to have too much bad luck...lol

 

sounds like its time to get rid of the girl friend

 

Time to sell the rex and get a honda...you are murdering too many rotary engines hehehe... :>)
