s5 t2 bild up
 

Well I’m going to rebuild my Rx2 engine which is an s5 t2 block. I got the JDM block about 2 years ago and just got an Atkins full rebuild kit and 3 mm apex seals, new rotor bearing and the thermal pellet removed Then I had to put the car on the back burner, because I didn’t have the money for it, so this time around I am going to do a better job. Here is a list of what is going to be done:

new housing
large street port
resurface the irons
clearance the rotors
rx8 e-shaft
hardened stationary gears
FD oil pump
high pressure oil regulator

So, the question is if I take the motor back apart, will I have to replace the combustion and water jacket seals even though I never even ran the engine, and is there any thing else I should do when I have it taken apart?

Its going to be fed by a gt 35 with a .82 ar, and a knock off jayteck intake with a 1000 cfm autonomics tb

No you don't need to replace anything. Just clean up the coolant seals and put a fresh coat of halmar when it put it back together. Just double check the cleareance on the rotor side seals and you should be fine.

thanks for the help
