Chrome Flaking
So I pulled the rear cover off last night and only took of the rear housing. The housing looked really good except for this spot of flaking. I realize its too big of a spot to put back into use right away, but what Im wondering is if it can be resurfaced?

The picture is a little bit blurry.
I heard that once the rotor housings flake, they shouldn't be used. As they will always have a leakage where the chrome flakes are and you won't be able to get a proper seal. This website might help you decide. Rotary Resurrection home of the budget rebuild. There are some shops and members that offer resurfacing services, i can't comment on them as i have never tried it. Search around on the forum, i hope i helped! |

Glad i could help somebody! There are loads of other information and websites and resources on Youtube, i can't remember at the top of my head to point you where.
But i do remember Aaron Cake, My RX-7 I stumbled upon his website eons ago, and his website has some good information on rotary engines in general. I want to build a 6 port myself, but i still haven't gotten the car yet.. I also have two books on rx7 and rotary engines so i might be able to help you if you have a specific problem and can't find it through search. PM me and ill look for my books to see if i can help you. |

Cool, good luck! There is also the factory service manual somewhere online, that should help a lot.
Here is one link that i found: RotaryHeads.com - 2nd Gen RX-7 PDF Technical Manuals FC3S By the way, OP, let us know if you want us to start a new thread instead of constantly posting on yours, or i could just PM Waldo. |
Check out Goopy Performance for getting those resurfaced. Not sure if they can be with the flaking but worth giving them a call!

That housing is a display piece now. Sorry. :(
The chrome is totally gone so no resurfacing will be able to restore it. |
Sorry about getting back so late. Spring break kept me away. Thanks for the replies. In this case, I may just wait on it and swap a t2 once my wallet gets a little thicker
