I'm new to the rotary business, so I need help on this one really bad....

I recently picked up an FC, the problem is the car smokes way too much than I think it should....
it's a rebuild 13b wich I think was rebuild(don't know how long ago)

I'd appreciate if u guys check it out and suggest what's wrong

Do a compression test on the motor.

 

Doesn't sound good, smoking isn't bad, but then you're in CA, so that may be a problem passing emissions. If one rotor only has 2 good comp readings instead of 3, run a can of Seafoam though though it with only 1/4 tank of fuel. Check for exhaust leaks too.

 

That isn't sounding very good, but it may just be the cheapish exhaust.

See http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/blown.htm for instructions on how to quickly determine if the engine is dead.

 

Can't see the video right now, but I'll check later. If the motor is smoking continously, then you might try replacing a quart of oil with Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer and see if that has any effect. Blown oil control rings really seem to like the Lucas...

 

is your 7 turbo or na

 

NA

tnx for the help
