Back on topic here after a couple short discussions, Taino please keep us updated with status, and some pictures of the car would be nice.
Good Luck with your fixes.

 

Yes, sir. I did post some photos of the car in the "Introduce yourself" new member section, along with some documentation some have found interesting. I also hope the video up top works. Here are some of the photos.

 

Body looks so sweet man. Congrats on the great find.

I second or third the idea of just cleaning intake with a wire wheel or something. It'll look pretty good after you're done with it.
One good thing about the corrosion though -it's protecting the manifold in a sense, from further corrosion.

 

Thank you, Rotary Alkymist. I might just polish them later on, even though I have that taken apart right now. Which here is my update and a couple of question about that. I took off the Upper and lower manifolds. WOW was there a lot of crud in the secondaries (photos below). I have the Atkins sleeves and waiting for my gaskets to arrive tomorrow. I won't be able to do much with this until Monday, which is the start of my three day weekend. My question is, is there a preferred method to clean the engine ports to make sure the least or no amount of crap gets in there? While I do not think any of that should cause damage to the engine, I prefer to not take the chance if possible. Also, what lubrication, if any, should i put on the sleeves? Or will that just attract more crud (like in guns)? Here are the photo so far. I also took lots of other photos and video documenting what I did. After all, this is my first time working on a rotary, and it was a little unnerving. Thanks in advanced.

 

funny, i said it first to counter your response but you bow to him...

1) soak the sleeves in a bucket of carb dip overnight, you should be able to wipe them almost completely clean at that point, if some crap remains, use a toothbrush and a can of carb cleaner to clean the rest off.
2) tap out the sleeve pins and spin them 90 degrees and reinstall so there is no longer a wear mark, these wear lines cause the pivots to chatter due to the slop and wear cuts into the stop bars as well as cause a rattling noise from the engine
3) disassemble the lower manifold by taking out the 2 phillips screws and slowly twist out the arms by spraying penetrating oil into them and letting it soak intermittently. replace the black rubber seals after everything is cleaned up and only apply a small amount of grease to the new seal, do not grease the rest of the assembly. as well, install the port sleeves dry.
4) clean out the iron port holes by wrapping a shop rag over a socket on an extension, dip it in carb cleaner and ram it into the hole like a, uh.... well nevermind that, you get the idea. you should have an idea when it's finally clean by rotating the rag around.

if the arms won't come out of the manifold, you can try tossing the LIM into an oven at 200F for about 20 minutes and try it with some gloves on and some careful twisting with some pliers on the cam end.

and now you're good to go for another 100k miles or more.

 

That's a really clean car Congratulations, it's getting harder and harder to find them in that condition.

 

Thanks insightful. I got the Atkins sleeves, so the factory ones will go into a bin for just in case. Last night after a got home for work (just after midnight ) I did some of the cleaning of the ports with a socket and a rag. The screws on the manifolds holding the arms are TIGHT. I really don't want to strip them. Tried almost everything I can think of, but they won't budge. I have been able to clean the rods well in place and are rotating pretty nicely. Still need to get the gasket off the block, which it's just tedious, but doable. And a little more cleaning of the ports to help the sleeves rotate a little smoother. I will keep you posted.

And yes, these cars are getting hard to find. I truly consider myself lucky. Especially for not paying an arm and a leg like some want for ones like these. Thanks.

 

Never mind, got them screws out. After soaking it over night, and finding a really good screwdriver bit for my impactor drill, I coaxed them out. Now just need to clean everything and out it back together. Hoping my intake gaskets get here Monday. They were supposed to arrive yesterday Friday.
