Damaged Eccentric Shaft?? Pics...
2 Attachment(s)
I have had my engine apart for a few months and it looks like my eccentric shaft is starting to get oxidation on it. Will this damage the shaft? Also should I remove it before assembly & how to remove it/keep it off?

take some wd-40 and spray down the lobes and rub with a rag very good and it should stop most of that and most of it should come off and then keep a light mist of wd-40 on it every now and then to keep it from coming back

you are sooo screwed!! Buy new ones!!:D JUST KIDDING!!
Yes you should clean them off. A good machine shop should be able to polish it. 93BlackFD had his shaft polished( haha!! :D) by a good shop. turned out sweet!! He posted before and after shots. Looked amazing. Try PM'ing him and asking, or maybe he will see this;) |
I have a spare E-shaft that has been in my house for about two years. No oxidation on it. Where did you leave yours, out in the damp garage?
|
I'd get it polished. Any engine rebuilding shop will know what to do with it.

Thanks for the info guys. I will probably take it to a shop and have it polished. At least pull it out of the garage for now.
I didn't mic the shaft yet, I am pretty sure its with in spec though. My Mana motor only lasted 12k. That link is broken, do you have another? |
hmmm its the mazdamotorsport (mazdaspeed) site. If you click on tech it gives spec for rotaries.....
I think the site is down because I can't get the main page to load...it will be up tomorrow |
if you go here...
