you guys have good reccomendations for a rebuilder up in th norcal area? closer to sacramento, the better..... i started blowing smoke yesterday morning, an di mean bad.. i am weighing doing it myself or getting a motor done with a waranty.... if you have any companies with websites.. even better.. please help if you can

 

Karack.....

he's in Marysville. PM him...

 

but does he offer a warranty? lol

 

Yes he does...

 

he offers a 1 year limited warranty with unlimited mileage which covers workmanship and materials.

 

^ see

Funkspectrum told you he did....

And Karack also told you he did....

 

Karack just rebuilt mine and I have no complaints. He will also save you allot of money compared to most shops.

 

sent you a PM KARACK

 

When are you getting smoke and does the engine have a turbo?

 

smokes until warmed up. like abad oil seal...... and its a non turbo..... want a t2 but money was short at the time.... but its been running fine till sunday morning....... oh an d how stiff are the clutches on the 2nd gen.. i remember my 1st gen, and i drive a corolla as a daily driver... seems way too soft , considering the clutch has about 10 miles on it if that

 

bump

 

Funkspectrum says karack is best...

 

I'll agree that Karack is the heat as well!!!! The absolute best prices and best customer service around!! And best of all is the quality of his work.

sounds like a bad seal to me too... Try Rick's Rotary in Pleasanton...

I'm not sure how the stock 2nd gen clutch feels... I know the later 1st gen clutches went to a soft feel, so the 2nd might be the same. :-/ You can always go with an aftermarket clutch with a stiffer pressure plate...

 

well the clutch just feel s waaaaay too soft i think i may have abad slave as well.... but anywya i PMed KARACK and i am awaiting his response, oh where the heck is pleasonton

 

thank you all for your support.

 

Off 680, just south of 580... I guess that might be a ways for you if you're in Sacramento... I guess SR Motorsports would be a consideration then too... He's vaguely N. of Livermore.

 

Karack is the shizzle...

 

Ricks is on Bernal Ave in pleasanton...I am sure Rick would build a good motor but he will charge an arm an a leg, then you wouldn't need a clutch because you would be stuck driving an automatic...lol. Seriously though rotaries are not that difficult to build ( i am going to rebuild mine since i just blew it up) but it seems as thou KARACK has a good rep an isnt that far from you, he is probably your best bet.

P.S. my clutch, slave and master are all new and feel a bit on the soft side as well, but if you have a lot of miles on the clutch and the motor is out you might as well change it to

best of luck

 

well thats ht eodd thieng, i just replaced it..... and it just feel s way too soft..... never felt a cluthc this soft

 

my clutch is soft but still grabs just fine, it doesn't have to mean it is bad but generally high perf. clutches will feel stiffer... your pedal free play could also just need to be adjusted.

 

Free tech advice!! Can't beat that!

 

cool_as_crap needs a rebuild bAD!!!! but hes in so. cal, so hes going to mazdatrix. but he does hear good things about karack, very good advice about everything....ever.......

 

see, i thought about the free play, i am by no means a novice with cars, just new to the innards of a rotary, i was manily doing pre 80'2 datun,toyota.. and pre 66 VW..... the free play is fine.. and bleeding helped little if not at all.....i will figure it out eventually just wasnt sure how soft it should be...... feels softer than my 2002 corolla..... seems odd ofr a car this old ( 87)

 

Anyone recommend someone or someplace that does a good Streetport job + rebuild, in the Norcal/Bay Area?

I don't need one yet, but just for future reference.
