im looking to rebuild one of my engines but i cant decide on where to do it and i dont really want to spend all that much. any ideas?

 

Set a budget and stick to it. It will help narrow the choices.

 

how about your house. full of savings and win

Find somebody local if your lazy or dont have the time, theres a couple guys within reasonable distance of Tacoma that are known to do rebuilds/builds. its paper any way you look at it.

 

i want to spend like 800. i would like to spend less but idk.

 

.................................................. ....best of luck......


I bet you can get a good running engine from bob for that, but i dont know anywhere you can get a rebuild for anywhere near that..

If you want to do it yourself you can get an atkins rebuild kit for a little more than 800.00....

what is bobs username on here?

 

$800?

It may be possible, if you supply all necessary parts.

 

might be able to DIY it if all your hard seals are still good...but idk about that

 

hoofarted. He lives in salem, great guy, has a few right now that will get you on the road nicely... Check the FS: good running engines post on the classified section....!

 

"hoofhearted"

OOPS, getting late and tired...lol...

 

If it's just a coolant seal that's gone bad it's somewhere around $400 in parts via Atkins...

[Reusing hard seals, plates, housings, rotors, springs.. Only replacing the bearings coolant seals/soft seals, and main seals]

That's how my vert is rolling [Ok.. So I did have to replace a plate and a housing.. but those are still used -- Expect to spend more than you plan on >_>]

 

How many miles are on the motor? May be possible...

 

pm'd

 

there is 127k on one engine and 167k on the other

 

As long as you do it, like in your garage, and the housings, the rotors, the seals and the bearings aren't too warn, but you can measure everything out to see if its within specs, if your lucky you http://www.atkinsrotary.com/index.php?pag=5 get kit A and done. But with those miles I'm not sure if the rotor housings wouldn't be too gauged. You'd have to be very careful to keep all seals/rotors/housings where they came from (used with used)... I say Plausible, but do you have the tools? Mechanical Ability?

Usually some people might spend between like 2000-4000...

Good luck!

 

My engines are tested for compression and also for holding coolant pressure.

I've got a couple 13b's that fit within your budget. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=855710
