Engine Building Day at my House
Well I know it has been a while in the making but the day is finally here. I will be assembling my monster;s 13B Semi-Peripheral Bridgeport engine tomorrow,24 April 2010 starting assembly around noonish. So if you would like to stop by I am in Lacey 98513. PM me for further information.
Bring what you want to drink. I am going to be the responsible host and not serve alcohol. I am also planning to do some grilling so stop by for your chance to see a new race engine be "born".
Laterz. Have a great weekend!!

I was doing a search on semi peripheral cause I'm building one for my car and came acrosss this thread.nice stuff I'm assuming this motor is going to be carburated.the engine I'm building is a 13brew with a mild street port/with semi peripherals on it.I'm going to be running a T-66 turbonetics ball bearing turbo.only hard part is finding a LIM for that engine combo I got,besides modifying the stock one..anyways nice work on your build,looks good.

Thanks for all the cool pics!! I was so happy to have you all over that I completely forgot to take pictures.
@ rotarydave2006... the intake is one I got from J&W racing and we modified it. I have seen others out there but I built this one to fit "my needs". This is going to be a street driven car so I needed to kill a bit of overlap on the primaries to let me get away from the light a bit easier. It is a test to see how well it holds up for me. Next winter I'll open it up and bridgeport the primaries and pin it if I can't get my number with this setup. But i think it will work out pretty good.
Yes those are OEM water seals. They are the only ones I trust.

I really don't know what that is supposed to mean. I have seen a few alternatives to the orange OEM water seals and so far I have not seen any that were cost efficient or didn't cost someone an engine. Now if you in your great mastery of engine building have something to share with the community then I look forward to discussing this. After all we were talking about just water seals. I have yet to see anything else outlast stock OEM water and compression seals on a rotary engine for over 100K miles.
Which ones do you recommend?

These are better.
"This is our exclusive Heavy Duty Water Seal kit. We tested these seals for over 7 years in numerous street and track cars before offering them to our customers. They have proven to be a significant upgrade over the stock water seals. We use them in all our 5-year warranty motors. Also, these seals are re-usable if you need to reopen the motor to freshen it, as long as the mileage is not too high or the engine too overheated. In other words, if you make a mistake and blow up your engine or perhaps improperly clearance the seals or whatever, these seals can be removed, allowed to "rest" for about 30 minutes and be reused when you put the engine back together. Stock water seals must be disposed of when freshening an engine, even with just a couple heat cycles. Kit includes the water jacket o-rings, front cover o-ring (and backup washer, if needed), dowel o-rings, rear stationary gear o-ring and oil pedistal o-rings."
However, if you're refering to the outside water seals, then yes the stock ones aren't too bad. I was thinking of the combusion o-ring... I would stay away from the stock ones on those.
