Hockey pucks.

 

Oh, and I think the crapalier is living up to its name. On the way back, I took a turn (hard for american cars apparently) and the battery light came on. Dad told me that it does that sometimes. Well, about 20 miles from home the headlights look waaay too dim and the instrument cluster is like a night light. Then the ABS light comes on. I made it home and made sure it got parked in the mud. I like rotaries. Much easier, you only have 2 problems: It's running, or its blown.

 

That thing is starting to sound sweet too When I left it was starting to thump hard!

 

Last spam post. Hey Sam, I got this free Vault 20 or 24oz coupon I found in a pocket. Want it? I don't drink the stuff.

 

dibs!

 

Here is what I have layed out as of now. I am wondering about the oil control ring surface of the port. Do you think it will be OK? I am going to check it, but just curious of the opinion.. Also have to still make sure of the space for the water jacket clearence. Not cutting till I get all my precise measuring tools from my box's





I am cleaning the rotor housing tonight and maybe doing it tonight, we'll see. I need to get sleep as I am heading to the booth with Ant's car in the morning as it is warm enough to paint finally..

 

Long, we demand video!

 

Looks nice dave

 

The oil control rings should not touch the port. IIRC, the inner side of the rings make the contact with the irons. Also, it is good to leave atleast 2mm between the eyebrow and coolant seal groove.

EDIT: Also, if you want to go bigger/closer, you can use a side seal and slide that into the coolant seal groove towards the port, and file it down flush with the housing/iron as reinforcement.

 

Yours. Sorry Sam, snooze/lose/etc.

 

Soon young Grasshopper, hopefully I can take my cam to sam's house and him and I can get it posted up

 

Hey smokey, are those seals you got 1 piece? I have to look into it if I decide to throw together this J-port.

 

So what is this I hear about you runnin your car into a ditch and not bein able to come to work?

 

Yes the seals are one piece and yes they are worth the money. BUT when you have them CRYOED Harden they are a b**ch to seat in

 

I know it should not tougch the port, what I mean is I think that the inner edge of the "extended" port follows the same arc as the original port Hence I do not think I wioll have a "smokey" engine due to the OCR's scraping oil into the port Would you agree that the inner edge should be safe? And yes 2mm is what I will leave, just need to get my calipers tomorrow after painting

 

I will need to get updates on the cryo's as they go for you. I am going with Atkins seals, just haven't decided to cryo or not. Can't wait to hear your brap. And in a couple months mine hopefully.

 

Yes it would be safe, that is how I do my porting. You don't want to have a port with a kink in it

 

Well guys, my brother is now a proud new member of our little rotary group. Its not a seven...but its got a rotary!

 

 

That is a nice color though. He got the rotary accent package I see Bring him to the club.

EDIT: Does this mean the SA comes back to you?

 

haha i wish, idk if dad will let me get it back, i wanna sell my truck and get an FD!

 

Lol. Then sell your kidney for upkeep money

 

i see three coopers!!!

 

Here is the center Iron stock and newly layed out, as well the housing with new port layed out Better pics tomorrow in good light.

 

That is going to be NICE!

Everytime I see your port, I think to myself "braaaaaaaaaaaaap braaaaaaaaaaaap" like the rotor spinning over at 2rpm lol.
