what the F is this ?
I took my engine apart today, after the front rotor housing was out I saw "that"
I was like "what the F is that?"
I feel it with my finger it looks like it got blocked somewhere in there ? I didn't clean it right away to see what is it because I was pretty pissed I killed one of my rotor today.
Did that happened to anybody before? I guess its pretty safe to say the iron is trashed, right?

it looks like a light skim of mud (sediment) over the intake port. so no you will no be able to "push your finger through"
it collects here because when mated to the rotor housing the isn't anywhere for the coolant to through. just like a catch basin of sorts. just sinks

upon disassemble, I call that bullshit, corner seal still using old style spring which when I took it apart, it was completely flat, corner seal rubber plug 1/2 of them are gone and the other 1/2 are melting, Apex seals are way out of spec.
and I found the source of the massive oil leak problem, the oil control rings are actually ok, but the rubber O-ring inside is not. Cuz it was still using the "old old" style black rings which broke even before I took the metal o-ring out.
and ever since I got this car the first thing I did was did a Distilled Water Flush, twice, and finally add 50/50 back into the system. hmm, if I didn't do that I don't know how much worst it would be.
I will try to clean it later today. keep you guys post.

Finally got the time to clean it today
Well, its probably just some build up, happens when people neglect their cooling system. if I didn't do 3 flush (2 distilled 1 50/50) its probably worst.
but hmm, after cleaning it, I want to know which idiot build this engine, the builder put silicone pretty much every freaking where EXCEPT the area that actually need it. Failed.
Also, do you think this housing still "lap-able" ? you can tell some silicone has "go back" into the combustion area. (thx again idiot, stop using silicone like its free) so many black spot here and there.

itt: buy shitty 25 year old car.. complain that its a shitty 25 year old car that someone neglected to take care of.
also deposits in that area are common. even if you do over 9000 radiator flushes and change coolant more often than oil, **** is still going to collect there.
plus. its n/a so whatevs.. nothing of value was lost.

Last 2 motors I've torn down had similar buildup. As for http://www.nopistons.com/forums/topi...01#entry835701
