attached is picture of some wear on my housing its got some consistent wear but doesn't feel as bad as it looks.

ive heard questionable opinions on if housing with this wear are reusable during a rebuild.
need some advice.

 

what's the intended use of the engine you are building?

 

just a street car not intending to do anything crazy with it,
no racing or anything like that.
its out of an s4 t2 by the way.

 

Not the best pic/angle/lighting to judge by. The first one looks decent enough, based only on that one pic.

The second one looks like dogshit ran over with all that chatter. I would not use that.

The third one, I really can't tell anything about due to the lighting, but it looks better than the first 2 from what I can see.

 

They would be OK for street use. Just premix a little more. Did you run 3 mm seals with those housing?

 

wat

 

its already running full premix no omp. and no 2 mm rotary aviation classics

 

looks like I need some housings then.. anyone have any luck with goopys refurbishing?
res do you have any s4 t2 housings for sale?

 

it depends if there is any chrome peeling, i also do the refurbishing service and shipping would be less than to goopy. if you were on the east coast i would recommend sending them to goopy. best i can do is match their price, since i don't make as much on the seal sets.

 

no peeling from what I can tell. is that service recommended or can it cause problems?
id rather finish the rebuild myself since im so far into it and would love to just get the housings done so I can finish otherwise im looking at having to buy a whole new motor,

stuck with 2 s4 t2 motors and one useable housing so far... not good haha. but I am learning a lot and have acquired an amass of tools so at least there is that!

how long does the refurbishing take?

 

you will have to look at the edges of the housings and see how much of a step there is in the chrome layer. the pictures don't show that kind of detail.
