Its probably not your reservoir thats the issue. All of them leak if they get too full. If your coolant system has an air leak it will pressurize the coolant system and blow all the coolant back into the reservoir causing it to overflow. Thats what mine did. All new coolant lines and its fixed.

Easy way to get the bubbles out is to open up the radiator cap when motor is cold and then turn it on, let it idle and bubbles slowly flow out of the system.

Thanks guys im going to work on it today and try to get rid of the bubbles. I did notice that the coolant level was over the FULL too. Thanks for the replies guys.

So anything new in the el paso rotary world? im finally gettin the old turbos off this week, installing all my aftermarket equipment next week and actually gonna try and mess with the PFC some. progress is slow BUT it is definitly gonna be worth it in the end

preskryption7 05-09-12 04:27 PM

Well i took care of the leak issue and installed a slightly larger intercooler and its running great so is anyone on here gonna hit up the Lead cruise on May 20th? It would b cool to see a few rotaries out there so we can break a few necks while we cruise haha.

TinMan09 05-09-12 04:45 PM

I didnt know anything about a cruise but then again i've been in georgia since the 22nd. I'll be heading back today though. Be there tomorrow evening maybe lol.

preskryption7 05-09-12 06:16 PM

There was originally going to b a "same love" car show on the 20th at far east tire club but it unexpectadely got cancelled so they decided to do a cruise in its place. ive yet to go to a Lead cruise so i figured id go to this one.

rotorican85 05-10-12 12:02 AM

gonna be reassembling/clearancing my motor (again) this weekend....finally got the replacement seals from ALS. Putting it all back together and adding a few goodies as well.....its kind of a habit of mine.

el_rotaria, this is your cue to bitch about the way i do things....floor is all yours, so lay on your back and do your thing...

OC DEBO 05-27-12 10:02 PM

did anyone show up to the lead cruise? hopefully i should be gettin my 7 back on the road soon. i hate waiting for parts in the mail. Does anyone have a T4 flanged turbo manifold gasket?

TinMan09 05-27-12 10:04 PM

I didnt know about it so i couldnt tell you lol.

rotorican85 05-27-12 10:15 PM

For the t4 Gasket go to Petimore diesel on rojas.

TinMan09 05-31-12 10:19 PM

P.Rat 06-06-12 10:34 PM

Are we ever going to meet up we really should some time

TinMan09 06-07-12 01:01 AM

I'm out in my car every wednesday night in my fd at fox plaza along with my former montego blue fd and sometimes a silver fd will roll through and usually a couple of 240s and s2ks. I also go out almost every friday night to the drag strip, not to run but to watch and show off my car of course again with the above listed cars.

OC DEBO 06-07-12 01:11 PM

All my parts are finally in and the swap has been started. Test fitted the mani with the 35R and block off plates are being done this weekend. Hot Line spindles are already on, gonna wait to finish the motor before i complete the last few bushing, new tie rods, and steering rack spacers.

Who wants to shoot for a cruize the weekend after the 4th of july?

rotorican85 06-07-12 01:54 PM

Had to walk away from my build last night...10mm bolt for oil pickup tube broke off, and to make things better....the bolt extracting bit broke as well as i was setting it to twist out broken bolt. Gonna buy a carbide drill bit and drill out the whole damn thing, re-tap it and move on to finish this bitch up....and drink a few beers in the process...

OC DEBO 06-15-12 04:15 PM

that sounds rough as shit. I had the same issue when i we puttin a new chain and sproket kit on my buddys bike.

Chain breaker snapped, had to use dremel to break old chain. then chain press siezed up, so i had to use channel locks to press the chain together. Straight painful dudes

rotorican85 06-15-12 10:14 PM

Debo....I got stories with this car that will make you look forward to changing out that chain again......lol

OC DEBO 07-05-12 02:44 PM

U gotta show me how to adjust the dyno. Now we know your secret.

Trip was good, cruised about 75-80 avg towing the trailer. Got to the shop and they had an Evo on the dyno doing an E85 tune...damn thing made 540 with little effort..
