There are 5 pages of pictures of the main parts of the rotary engine I have. I'm trying to see if anyone out there knows if they are worth rebuilding with or not. Thank you

Well first it is hard to say good bad from photos

But, Here is what i can see,

Pic DSC04782 Center Iron= If that rust has pitted the chrome then its trash.

The out side Iron look ok, and i cant say anything about the rotor housing i do this by sight and feel, and a pic doesnt help.

Sorry

dude, i'm sure it's not a matter of people not wanting to help, but it's not an ideal situation to try to check engine parts from photos. i'll assume you've never built one before, but a proper inspection of parts requires it to be in hand. you need to check the specs and measure clearances. get some measuring tools (calipers, dial indicator, etc.) and post your findings with specific questions.

also, another tip ... put oil or vaseline on your parts when storing them. it prevents rust.

Thanks fellas. Sorry for being an asshole I wasn't in a good mood. I do have some measure tools and I remember reading a thread on where to check the specs. And the parts have been like that for 3 years now, when I bought the car the guy had taken it apart and let it sit in his basment.
