cool car man, i'm glad you're enjoying her so far. she needs a little tlc, but she's in better shape than mine when i first got it
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

This is when I pulled out the blown motor.
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.

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...

Front cover off...
Ghetto structure I made to take apart the beast...
The e-shaft fit in there flawlessly

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

Yes I did need them but Oh well. I didn't have the money for the bearing kit and the tools to press them in. These will do for now. When I get my degree in Mechanical Engineering I will hopefully land a good job and a 13REW swap will be one of my first investments. In the meantime this is gonna be a budget rebuild here
