well after 4months of waitingon parts for mt baby to come out of the shop, i called them today and they said that it was up and running but the culdnt figure out why one of the apex wasnt hittin.... i have no clue what they mean so if anyone can tell me what there talking about...it be cool...thanx

 

I would guess that means the spring behind the apex seal isn't moving the seal enough to maintain smooth contact with the housing.

I'm sure the experts here can elaborate (or smack me down as needed)

 

bump for knowledge

 

maybe they are trying to say one of your apex's is out...

which means the engine is blown.

why was the car in the shop?

 

fuel pressure regulator, vaccum hoses... it was recently rebuilt... not even 18 miles in the motor... dont scare me like that man! ill kill someone i swear!

 

ummmmmm.... if your seal springs dont work, you motor needs to be rebuilt again! at least you didnt blow an apex seal! if its stuck, if might be from sitting too long and i dont know if you can fix thhat without taking the motor apart!

the motor will have low compression on 2 cambers if that happened on one apex seal but if more than one, good luck!

 

i will die! and after that.... ill buy a honda

 

So you're planning on going to hell after you die?

 

could they be refering to anything else with this??? or am i pretty much going to hell in a honda??? a bad spark plug??? bad spark??please god!!! help my 7!!!

well it will probably take me another lifetime ro get to hell in a honda.... so its more like a second chance at life

 

I'd call and get them to explain it to you... maybe a bad seal spring... bad spark possible for a redneck type explanation for a problem... maybe an injector not firing...
I'd go ask more questions...?

 

yea..... its a slim chance that your motor is bad after 18 miles but you never know!

 

could be a sticking side seal, which is easily remedied. Sounds like you need to call that shop for some elaboration......

 

thanx for giving me hope guys... ill call today

 

well its official! the motor is bad! so now we dig for recipts and warranty..... the guy that owned the car before paid for the rebuilt so hopefully he can fin the recipt! if not.... im really doomed... can a pfc run a 20B??? how evil is the conversion???

 

pfc cant run it... evil... more a pain in the ***... if you don't know much about 7's you probably shouldn't attempt it unless your going to pay someone for the conversion.... lots of welding fabricating and wiring. What shop built the last motor?

 

cough!atkins rotary, cough!
