My buld up on my 93 FD. We did it at the shop

The APEX Seal ended up only scoring the rotor housing, so i got lucky!

This time its RA Super Seals

(post up some of your pics of your rebuild)

 

heres the rest of it

 

sorry for the first pics, they were taken with a camera phone.

 

you can post up pics of your build up too... this is why i created this thread.

 

i've already got a thread going for my build, just click the link in my sig. i haven't pulled the engine apart yet, but it should be opened up on Tuesday. i've got tons of pics in the thread though.

 

nice work!

lmao @ that main crank bolt. those things suck.

 

tell me about it! i've got an impact wrench, but it's only rated at 230 lb/ft. i'll be getting a much more powerful one by Tuesday and i'll have another go at it. i'm sure the advice everyone has given will come in handy.

 

lean fuel mixture + super cold night = zoom-zoom-boom!

 

i only got pics of my motor apart not the build.. next time ill take the motor apart i might be going ls1

1.3l > 5.7l

 

Engine Fire.....

 

Geesh..thats rough man.

 

Did you buy your car like that?

 

^^Nastiest (in a bad way) engine I think I have ever seen. Give it some CPR and bring it back to life!

Nasty (in a good way), bada$$ engine, 1.3 liter V8 eater.

 

Yup, $2500, actually not too bad of damage in the engine compartment other than plastics, but already building up a new engine thats almost done

 

That fire damage looks pretty severe. As in, new brake booster, new master cylinder, potentially new brake lines, wiring harneses, etc. Ouch. $2500 for a complete FD though, can't complain about that

 

I knew it was going to be lotttttss of work, but thats something I enjoy, and I was excited about learning into the Rx7 and how Rotarys work and such, so building it up from the block has been a great learning experience for me

 

damn, engine fires suck. Vipers just had an engine fire a few weeks ago in his FC, but it wasnt as bad. I would cry if my car ever caught fire. i dont even like thinking about it.

 

All the parts besides the engine I am missing....so if anyone could help me out with any of these that would be greatly appreciated

 

my buds and i took apart my engine tonight (click the link in my sig). only have a few pics because my wife's camera is being a bastard, but i'll get better pics up tomorrow.

i've got an a/c system, power steering, air bag system (including computer)... the a/c system had a leak in it somewhere, but the p/s is good and the air bags are still good. pm me an offer if you're interested.
