you can put more than one image per post, just needs at least one space between img strings. it also seems like you are putting one too many sets of img tags on each pic, if what you're copy+pasting has img tags already (ie: photobucket), you don't need to add your own. welcome dude, and have fun with your little rotary -sean |

This is when I pulled out the blown motor.
Attachment 653267 Attachment 653268 Attachment 653269 And to be honest I was excited but I was kind of nervous about pulling it apart. I hoped that it was only the coolant seals. |

Then the whole thing was reduced to this
Attachment 653229 Attachment 653230 Attachment 653231 The amount of dirt, grease and oil that was on this engine... Attachment 653232 Attachment 653233 |
man, that thing is filthy ha ha
i can barely make out the contours on the front cover -sean |
nice build
|
Haha oh man, that's insane. It'll be extremely rewarding cleaning all of those parts!
|
Let me just say it was a total pain in the *** to clean all of that grease. Everything that I touched or that touched the parts turned black. I went through a lot of degreaser...

Ghetto structure I made to take apart the beast... Attachment 652053 The e-shaft fit in there flawlessly Attachment 652054 |

I got the rear plate off and voila there's the blown coolant seal
Attachment 652049 Attachment 652050 Neat shot of the rear rotor. This was my first time seeing a rotor!!! Attachment 652051 |
it's kinda cool, isn't it?
the first time i cracked open a rotary i was like "really? that's it? neat!" -sean |
Nice! It really is cool to see the insides. Looks like artwork. Make sure you check those irons for step wear.
|
Very cool man, great photos! I just started my build too. Any plans or ideas for the car? Color? Wheels? Body?

Since I was working on this build with a small budget I went through the whole engine and decided that I was going to order the following: Viton Oil o-rings, gasket kit of course, side seal springs, apex seals (decided to go with Atkins 2 piece seals), apex seal springs, FD corner seals, corner seal springs, pilot bearing & seal, and front and rear main seals. In total I spent $563.96

Nice, man! I'm about to do the very same thing to mine for the same problem on the same rotor! Hahah. How difficult was it to pull the transmission with it?

nice price, where did you order all the parts from? Can pm if you want.

Looks like you need rotor bearings as well.

Fair enough! Mechanical Engineering, that's impressive. What year are you in?
|
Thanks man, I am a 3rd year ME student (Junior).
|
Very nice. I'm finishing up 2nd year doing a BBA.
