Exclamation couple of stuff :)

Okay, couple of questions... I cant afford a rebuilt, my car needs it, but i was thinking of buying an engine already rebuilt.. wanted to know how much it is, or if you can buy such a thing? specifically looking for NA's.. anyways my car seems to be smoking again, it comes out thick white, then turns blueish.. it smells like oil, doesnt smell like coolant... my car also overheats when drivin long distances, and i believe its a crack in the radiator.. cause thats what it was last time.. it doesnt overheat all the way, where i have to stop and put coolant, and wait till it cools down, i just turn on the heater, and it cools down?? haha its weird.. anyways i was thinking of buying an intercooler, and an electric fan.. any suggestions if i should or shouldnt, and where to get it? also new traNNY.. well my biggest concern is the engine and the radiator, ive fixxed the radiator a bunch of times, but it keeps getting little cracks where coolant spills out.. so im thinking of buying an intercooler... will appreciate the help, im pretty new to the rotary thing, and im finding out as i go how things work!! would appreciate all the help i can get

your water jacket seals are leaking and your oil control rings are dying. Only go e-fan if you do it right. if not then stock clutch fan + fan shroud is more effective. No fan shroud = Fail. Intercooler for N/A?

Try replacing your thermostat.


No rebuilt motors don't exist.

I have an efan on my FB and it works great, too good some times, lol. my OCR's are going bad too, it smokes randomly and in high RPM. but yeah, rebuild would be your cure to that problem.
