Hey all,
I'm lookin at buying a series 3 RX-7 and there is one for sale quite cheap but has "blown seals". I was wondering whether this would require a complete rebuild, or is it quite simple to fix? Also what you think the cost would be to do this.
REALLY want a 7!!!
Thanks

 

Budget on a complete rebuild...could be anything from an oil seal, to an apex seal...the apex seal might have scored the housings as well...

prob be cheaper to get a rebuilt engine than risk it!

Plenty of cheap engines and complete 7's available on www.ausrotary.com all in australia...

 

Thanks,
Yeah, i have seen a fair few things i liked on ausrotary but it wont let me register for some reason saying my email is banned, thinking there might be a problem with my email i made a new one but again it says it is banned. Can you just not register under a hotmail account?

 

i get the same thing on the ausrotary site with all my 3 different freemail accounts

think it has to a be a traceable email account, pity i have no idea what my yahoojapan address is

haha, that'd be right. So many things that i could get keep popping up, but if there is no phone number i have to watch it sell, it hurts...

 

Seals being blown always mean that you have to crack the motor open. And while your in there you might as well rebuild or replace all the soft seals and Apex seal which is usually described as a "Rebuild"
