Is a stationary bearing supposed to go on the gear or the eccentric?
Rear stationary gear bearing welded on to eccentric....i mean WELDED!!
Had to use a dremel with a thin cutting wheel to remove it. Obviously due to no oil pressure.


In case you are indeed wondering....eccentric was toast. I did laugh like a **** at this since it wasnt my motor!!!! (for once!!)

Apparently, using FD bearings with a FC stationary gear is no bueno...can't use the bearing retainer bolt therefore free to spin and never build oil pressure.
Was kinds funny to see you laugh at my misfortune though....
Four new FC bearings, a new eccentric shaft and counting, gotta inspect everything else today.

no clue on a new event, although they do have autocross at cohen every month. fun to get out there and watch, or even see what your car will do. And its pretty cheap too.

I am doing some community service for the past week or so and I have made great strides with the automotive program. Here is one of my students after his first solo, and successful, attempt at assembling all the seals on a rotor....i realized afterwards i should have never said "use liberal amount of vaseline" ....since he replied "it looks like i jerked off an elephant!
Damn rotor was more slippery than a bar of soap at the county jail."

Bolted up the new FFE rail (amazing fit btw) and bolted down both secondary and primary to do a pressure test. Sure as ****, go to turn the car on, battery is deader than dead. Got a Red Top comin in tommorow morning. Wondering what else can go wrong here......
the bitch starts!!!!! super rough idle, messed with the PFC and got this thing lookin good. No leaks, some smoke but expected. next step is having the tuner stop by tomorow or friday. Should be on the road this weekend wasting gas!
can anyone recommend me a mechanic? or if somebody wants to help me out and make some extra cash that's cool too.
i have an 87 turbo that idles rough and has too cool down after shut off or else i have to de-flood it.
thanks in advance...

come by the shop tomorow around 1-2pm. 11060 dyer st. ste 13. We are gonna try and work on my 7 and another customers.
On the bright side, we got mine to idle, stop smoking, and drive without boost. After revising the firmware on the tuners computer, we should be able to knock my tune out tommorow. if not, ill have a datalogit this week and can just go from there. feels amazing to drive my car!

As it was stated by tinman...."we need a pic of the cars"
I asked "what the **** for?"
Reply was " it's the only time that 4 rotaries are running in el paso!!!"
That tinman is a funny gringo....and tito has some serious iPhone video and photo skills!!!

(That brown one is a sexy bitch!!)

You hoes had the privilege of being parked next to mine...I gotta be careful, rust from your car rotor may jump and mess up my blue paint. LOOK AT ALL THAT RUST....I mean brown. Rusty bitch is fast though.
rust? bitch, the only thing holding your blue shitbucket together is the 72 layers of aircraft grade Imron paint. **** is so thick it hold metal panels together.
so how far back were you?? (far enough that you couldnt even see the brown bitch's tailights)
