hey everyone so i am new to the rx7 world a 1987 6port NA i have had this car for 2 years now and well i had blown water jacket seals i kept on over heating... so i wanted to rebuild the engine so i did i had bought new waterjacket seals and corner rubber buttons that go in to the corner seals and i had old fd apex seals (which i used) other than that i reused everything!. i have just reassemble the motor and it is in the car. i have another problem im only getting about 30psi in each rotor why is that is there a specific way on installing the apex seal i used adhesive and put the there parts together was i suppose to do that? and i am not getting no spark at the leading coils please help ... i am going to eventually get a turbo 2 motor but first i would like to know how to fix this one so i properly know how to fix a rotary .

 

Get the motor rebuilt properly first. Then tackle the coil. Its just that easy. You can not do it yourself.

 

Low compression could be due to a leaking gasket on the engine and/or from a mistake made during the rebuild.

Your coil could be bad I'd check the connections on it and make sure its all connected properly as well as bolted down.

Check your fuses in the engine bay and under the dash too

Rotary >Pistons

 

does "everything" include the old springs? did you spec the FD apex seals before use? also, did you keep track of where the aide seals and corner seals came from in the respective rotors?

 

Insert apex seals joke here?
