Well the rex blew up about 20 minutes ago. I was driving up a hill under part throttle and she went kaboom. now she is running off one rotor. PMS if giving crazy numbers and she wont idle. I limped her home to the garage and will start yanking the motor tonight.

 

i admire your calm nature. I'll be shitting bricks if i was in the same situation. Hope everything works out for you. Post pictures of your rebuilding process!!!

iv been waiting for this day for about a year now. The motor had bad coolant seals too, so its really no loss.

 

I feel your pain, man. I was in the same boat last month....bad coolant seals for about half a year, then a failed main bearing.

In your new engine, you might want to request Teflon water seals. I've heard good things about them and my hopes are that it'll end this failed coolant seal crap.....

 

Why not just use Evans???
So what future plans or port jobs to you have in mind for your engine?
You doing it yourself or having someone else do it for you?

 

there is a ported engine on ebay that's almost new..check it out

ohh coolant seals are bad, but the motor threw an a pex seal. its turbo time too. im doing it myself, and with a buddy. it happened about 1:30 today, and it is now 5:43 and everything is out. just waiting for my friend to get off work to help me yank the motor

 

i v got bloody knuckles and im drunk as ****.....by myself

 

Evans Coolant won't prevent coolant seal failures - they (coolant seals)mainly fail from the movement caused by the different expansion rate of the aluminum rotor housings and the cast iron side housings, and from COMBUSTION gas pressure (not coolant pressure). TEFLON seals last longer because they are more restant to HEAT and slide eaiser on the alum side housings thus enduring less stress from the differential movement of the alum and cast iron housings during heat/cool cycles.

 

hang on...you put 70k miles in 3 yrs?? Oh my that's a lot of driving.

 

motors out. im tanked goodnight everyone. downpipe gave me hell. good thing im going single

 

in 2 days im gonna disassemble the engine and see how everything looks. I'd do a rebuild myself, but i dont trust the shaky hand with a port job. Maybe a re man, i really havent decided yet. My budget isnt real tight, but when oyu start figuring in extras,(broke the p/spulley today among other things) it gets tighter.
