how easy is it to make repairs yourself on a rx-8 engine as opposed to a regular piston engine.

Depends on what your talking about. External it isn't too bad. Internal it's a totally different animal and takes special training to get things right.

Besides the internals being different, it seems like you have to pull a rotary out of the car to get to the innards. You can rebuild/overhaul a piston engine with the block still in place. A least I've done that a couple of times.

There is nothing different really....things turn and go boom....

If you can rebuild a piston engine you can learn to rebuild a rotary....just differrent types of things to measure.....and different considerations

Like everything...there are tricks to the trade so to speak.....that make things easier..or better for the final product...

It ain't rocket science though
