Two videos of my project (blowing, pulling, prepping, and installing an engine)

Well, i ended up blowing the engine on my newest rx-7 and happened to catch the very moment on tape... or at least when the apex seal officially let loose causing the engine to sieze. That happened monday (3/13/06) night and by Friday (3/17/06) evening the other engine was in and running. I did all the work in that time frame BY MYSELF. ENJOY!

I can pull a motor in the same timeframe, but not re-install. Cool.
