Hey everyone I started this thread a month ago in the Media Section, but it fits better in the RX-8 Tech Section. I use to work at a rotary engine shop for 2 years rebuilding rotary engines. I'm working with Pineapple Racing (http://www.pineappleracing.com) and RotaryEngineIllustrated.com (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com) to bring more value to rotary engine enthusiasts.

We are now publishing free weekly how to videos, teaching rotary enthusiasts how to rebuild a rotary engine. Because I can not 'edit' my message I will post the current videos, and then reply to this thread when a new video is complete.

However, this master link (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/rebuilding-videos/20.html): will be the homepage for all of the videos, if you goto the following link it will show you all the movies up to date, instead of looking way down through this forum for a message from me.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the current list of videos as of 5.11.2006

Movie 1 - 2.10.2006 - How to Install a Rotor Bearing (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/rebuilding-videos/how-to-install-a-rotor-bearing-21.html)
Movie 2 - 10.10.2006 - The Basic Parts of a Rotary Engine (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/rebuilding-videos/the-basic-parts-of-a-rotary-engine-17.html)
Movie 3 - 23.10.2006 - Increasing Engine Oil Pressure (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/rebuilding-videos/increasing-engine-oil-pressure-12.html)
Movie 4 - 29.10.2006 - Preparing Side Housings for Resurfacing/Lapping (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/rebuilding-videos/preparing-plates-for-resurfacing-la.html)
Movie 5 - 5.11.2006 - Replacing Pilot Bearing and Seal (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/rebuilding-videos/replacing-pilot-bearing-seal.html)
It will be an incredible resource once there are 50+ free streaming videos, we will get there. We are looking for some input from people like you on what you'd like to see. If you have any requests on what type of rotary engine stuff you'd like to see on the video please post here on this forum. Please keep it related to the engine, building/performance, not suspension, welding exhausts, etc.

Hope some of you find this new resource helpful. I'll go ahead and post on here each time a video is released from now on to keep those you want to be updated up to speed.

Look forward to your input.

Thanks

Movie 6 - 12.11.2006 - Rotary Engine Stand Adapter (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/rebuilding-videos/rotary-engine-stand-adapter.html)

Cool!

Thanks, Kaz.

No Problem, thanks for appreciation!

http://www.RebuildingRotaryEngines.com is our new site for 2007 which will post all of the weekly how-to-videos on rebuilding rotary engines.

This has moved from the RotaryEngineIllustrated.com site, for those who already know of the old resource. The new website is extremely better at delivering content, and there should be no more video loading errors because of the new google video system in use.

Newest Videos:

Blocking Rotor Housing Coolant Passage and Oil Metering Injection Hole (http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.com/view/coolant_freeze_plug_m)

Checking Side Housings (http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.com/view/Checking_Side_Housings_Plates)

Really cool...thanks.

Newest Videos:

Eccentric Shaft Thermal Bypass Valve Modification (http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.com/videos/Eccentric_Shaft_Thermal_Bypass_Valve_Modification)
Installing 6 Port Inserts (http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.com/videos/6_Port_Inserts)
Clearancing Side Seals (http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.com/videos/Clearancing_Side_Seals)

Sweet clips.

Are you planning to put together all the pack of videos in HQ in a DVD anytime soon?

I would be really interested in buying one.

Cheers

any word on a complete rebuild video?

Bump. I just stumbled accross these videos and thought if any new rotary enthusiasts like me havn't seen them yet, they should take a look.
