Just wondering.

 

I did mine!

 

Not blown yet... But helping a friend with his!

 

Did engine swaps, turbo swap, Just waiting for my engine to go or to find a cheap blown one. Then I'll be rebuilding. I wish I could get a blow one for Christmas just to rebuild it! I'm dying to get in to that project.

 

Sure I've rebuilt several TII and [3] engines. Did my own porting too!

so how do you learn how to rebuild them yourself? is it very hard learn? Is there a site that can help me learn how?

 

Yea i was wondering how easy it is.. The porting i wouldnt do myself so i doubt i would ever do it myself be a pita but still i would like 2 know how difficult it is...

 

Just get the shop manual! It was all I needed to rebuild my engine. It's not that difficult really. Prior to my rebuild, all I had done on a car was to change oil.

 

Somewhere on the Lightening in a World of Thunder website there is information on a video you can buy that takes you thru the process of rebuilding a rotary.
I've heard its pretty good. Its like $20

Heard about that video too and I am looking for it. Anyone know where it is?

 

i took apart my blown TII engine. as soon as i have $$$$ i'm gonna buy the parts it needs *everything* and rebuild and port it

You MUST clean everything spotlessly, this is probably half the time it takes to rebuild. Label every part and where it came from. Make sure you know how to clearance everything, and oh.....buy a GOOD torque wrench. Setting the end play correctly is a motha', and without a doubt the most critical part of longevity. It's really a very simple engine. I would leave porting to a pro - it's tricky stuff unless all you are going to do is smooth them out, which is a significant benefit without any risk.

 

Ron, where can I find a GOOD torque wrench?
