I haven't been posting any more news on the repair of my engine. I'm just waiting for parts.
The total cost of parts is about $27. And about $13 in shipping fees.
I estimate the cost for someone to do the work I have done at no less than $600 in labor. So I guess i'm saving at the same time I am learning.
I hope everyone who has helped me take things apart, will help me get it back together.

:o)

 

Nope, you're on your own, no guidance!


Ok, maybe just a little....

 

Excellent. A little is all I ask.

 

You're in good hands with SonicRat, man...

And besides, the minute he gives you questionable info, we'll be all over him, lol...

 

good lookin out man!

 

shouldn't you guys be asleep?

 

It is 7:30 am here and I am half blasted. I see some familiar people online. But I am crashing. I will keep you all posted of the put together, when I get the parts. hopefully Monday. I have ordered from both mazdatrix and Atkins rotary. Who will arive first?

 

Well, now that we're up, you goin' back together with it yet?

I bet you can't wait to do a rebuild now, with all this knowledge you've gained

 

I don't think you know how much i wanna do a build up.

 

Got no parts yet, gonna start on it hopefully Monday, if the parts arrive....as you know i will bring boring picks with me.

 

what time is it there?

 

time test...........

 

5 hour diff............

 

Dude, you like racking up that post count, lol...

Central time...

You're gonna hit page 10 here pretty soon, gonna start another one, or go to page 20 with the build-up?

 

What? should I start a continueing post? And start from square 1?

 

Understand i am buzzing right now.

 

I plan to take pictures through the whole process.

 

UGH!!!!

 

I will sleep now, and have dreams about how my 7 is gonna run when I get it back together!

All help will be gladly appreciated.

Until then.................

 

You could be doing lots of things while you're waiting for parts-checking/ changing plugs, taking out the oil pressure sender & cleaning the "gunk" out of it, draining the oil cooler & lines, changing the filter, cleaning up the gasket surfaces, cleaning up the top front of the engine that's exposed now, checking your vac lines for cracks, etc...

 

New thermostat while you're at it, pretty easy to do now. Also might want to consider the oil pellet for the main hub bolt.

 

dude, gnome. you live in lousville KY? where? we could come help you out since we've done like 1242324 engine swaps we might be able to help.

 

I really appreciate the offer, but I am quite poor. I would feel bad actually having someone help me out and not have any way to repay them.

Plus I would be embarrassed about the shape mine is in. I bought it cheap, and have since damaged the body up a bit. I've got alot of 7 stories. he he

But anyways, I live in the Iroquois area. Where are you from? I've been trying to find someone local with some 'real' rotary background.

 

yeah I ordered a pellet from Dan Atkins. I don't run a thermostat in summer.

I've been helping a friend move this weekend, so I haven't done much to the engine.

Damn WAYNE88N/A you had to remind me that I has to do more than just put the new parts in a just sew it up.
j/k Actually thanks for reminding me that there is still much I can be doing.

 

Well, you were driving me batshit with all your one-words posts, so I had to tell you to go do something, lol...

Never refuse help! Besides, with the month Jacob is having, he needs to get his mind off of his car for a while anyway...
