How bad was the overheat?
 

Enjoying myself last summer when the 132K mile 84 RX7 GS blew out the temp sensor on the top of the radiator and spewed a cloud of white steam. I coasted to a stop, let it cool down and replaced coolant/water and drove it home with temps in the normal range, oil pressure good etc. The next day it turned over but would not start. So there it sits...


How bad has it blown? Is it worth rebuilding? Do I need to tear it down to find out?


Any advice would be helpful as would any contact information for a good rotary mechanic in Alaska.

you need to find out for sure why it won't start, don't just start speculating it needs a rebuild

compression test it, check your plugs, and make sure you getting F.S.A needed for an engine to run

..uhbtw.. FSA is Fuel,spark and air..(Not a Freakin short Asian!)

no, it means freakin short asian, whole lotta little asians blowing air, farting gas, and drinking saki to help with the spark knocking!
