How many engines have you blown this year?
 

0,zilch,zero,not one

0. Impressive for the crazy stupid shit I do to them, amusing that people seem to blow them just by looking at them however, or people who go through 4 engines in one month, never did quite figure out that one.

0 for me. yay!!!!

1, didnt blow. but the seals where getting pretty worn (smoking for a little during start up) so i pulled her. im not sure if it really counts cause it still runs and has good compression ;)

So in other words, it did blow ;)

one engine, blown > rebuild > blown in 7 days

one, my first engine with my first rx7....

What in the world do you do to your rebuilds!?

Always learning the hard way. Engine was rebuild around november 2003, broken in on stock ECU, haltech E11V1 installed may 2004, blown during tuning, rebuild next day, broken in and blown again during tuning (7 days after first blew up). After that i took a break for about 20 days, went to Cyprus, borrowed E6K from George and after getting back home, rebuild it again, installed E6K and i am running on E6K now.

1 this year due to a coolant seal failure.

2. First one blew driving it home from buying it. The guy did a poor rebuild, and the side seals siezed in the front rotar. Dropped in a used jspec, drove great for 2 months, blew a month ago. Apex seal failure from what I can tell. So I bought another jspec, with the intention of dropping it in, and driving the car while I rebuild the other one, but theis one has such a deep sratch on the housing near the exasut port I'm not going to chance it. I'm just rebuilding it now. Glad I have Mom's car to drive for a while!

Are you rebuilding these yourself?

damn. yall mothafuckas just blow engines left & right. how much do you guys drive your cars I only drive my Fc on the weekends.

The first was rebuilt by the old owner, the second was not rebuilt, just dropped straight in. The third, I'm about to start today. You want something done right, you better do it yourself right?
