What not to do to a rotary
SO i seized my motor last april and finally tore it down. I previously posted:

https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/no-good-metal-flakes-743037/

https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/s5-na-power-loss-problem-searched-740114/

https://www.rx7club.com/west-rx-7-forum-193/need-help-east-bay-738590/

End Result =




I formally apologize to those of you with weak stomachs and the tears that might have been shed from this travesty but TII Swap FTW!

That sucks to see and hear! Hope the next engine goes smoothly. Premix perhaps?
