Looking for a Machine Shop experienced in rotary engines. I need my side plates lapped and re-nitrided. I don't know of anywhere that can do it, I've called a few shops and they've never even heard of it being done, or even seen a rotary. I want someone who knows what they're doing to do my irons. In Barrie or Toronto area.

 

JDK?
Brent Clement still doing this? or RPM(Joe)
..Mazdees?(expensive).
look up to the stickies.there are some shops listed.
OH..I think TROTSTII(?) may know where to get stuff like this done.

 

I cant get a hold of Brent...his number is cut off. Pickering is too far. And from I heard Joe never lapped irons. Ill try some of the rotary shops...I think I may just buy some irons in good shape and use them.

 

Nobody does it here. Send it off to Chips Motorsports.

You gotta be kidding me. Ive contacted several people, there has to be people in Ontario.

 

I kid you not.

Damn, alright I trust you man. I did contact Mazdees, Rotary Dynamics, Streetpower etc all asking where they get it done or if they do it.

 

None of them do it. I know Mazdee's has a lapping stone but that takes forever and is exhausting and it still won't be re-nitrated.

Really, so everybody ships to the states or just buys new ones or good shape ones? Thats crazy...lol I wish rotaries were more popular!

 

More like people are too cheap up here to pay for it so nobody has ever bothered.

Yeap, noooobody does lapping in Ontario.

Buy new irons. They aren't that much money. Well worth it.

 

You can always use the good old method of some grinding compound and just rub them together until your shoulders say no more.

Lol crap, guess i gotta get some new irons then. Thanks guys.

 

NOt sure if people are to cheap to do it here its just cost way more to do it here in ontario then in the states? I would love to find a local as I have a set to do as well. I've contact Chips motorsports but I would rather drive it down then pay the shipping...

 

I got my lappings done at a very old friend of mine lool. That PP is still running and breathing fire!!
Also, what do you mean by "renitrided"?

 

Rx7 Specialties in calgary has a special machine for lapping plates. I dont think he charges that much either, you'd have to email or call to find out.

 

x2, Adam does good work.
