What manual? That reference is not in my owner's manual, nor in the shop manual. What are you reading?

It's from the New Testament.

11:14, thou shall change apex piston ring gaskets no less than once every 15,000 miles.

Paul_in_DC

Huh? Mine runs best on Shell 93.

I thought that the Carberendum cleaner from RB was overpriced? I picked some up at my local BP station (for like HALF what RB charges) when they were straightening my stator vanes. Ya gotta do that every 5k or you're going to blow your Kramden links for sure.

I like RBs the best, even though Hymee's is a little cheaper.

You can pick up a salvage Kramden link for 1/10th the price of a new one, but just make sure the car it's coming off of was hit from the front, and not the rear.

Man, I'm in trouble. There is no page 14 in section 11 of my owner's manual. As a matter of fact... section 11 is the glossary.

My pistons do make a wierd sqealing noise though, so maybe I can get a bearing stretcher to knock the kinks out.

I just had Jiffy Lube replace all of my pistons.

Instead of rebuilding the engine at 15,000 miles, you should use use a can of engine restore. Here is how it works for a rotary:

1)Buy a can of 6-cyl Engine Restore and a can of 4-cyl Engine Restore.
2)Pour the entire contents of the 4-cyl Engine Restore into the trash.
3)Pour the contents of the 6-cyl Engine Restore into the empty 4-cyl Engine Restore can until full.
4)You now have 2-cylinders worth of Engine Restore remaining in the 6-cyl Engine Restore can.
5)Pour remaining contents of 6-cyl Engine Restore into oil fill tube.
6)Enjoy the new found power of a fully restored rotary engine.

I heard that those guys are kinda shady. I'm gonna have the dealership do mine. I also recommend that everyone calls thier dealership to make an appointment for this.

Paul in DC, its the same page as the orific cleaning proceedure, right after bell curve timing specs...

Stavesacre21

Toss some WD40 in there. Does wonders! Even says so on the back of the can!

Kewl! Thanks for the tip!

My dealer said I needed to replace my seat gaskets, too, can Hymee's hook me up? I'm also staring down the gascolator replacement at 10k miles. Maybe I can save on shipping if I get my gascolator and Kramden links in one package.

Paul_in_DC

Is that the same section that warns against using a left-handed torque wrench?

MyRXdrug

I had to eject my warp core when the evil Honda race tried to overtake me. But it's all good because I had to replace my dilithium crystals anyways. and my Apex seal

It's OK to use a left handed torque wrench but only if additional force is applied with a left handed screwdriver !


An "**** sphincter " is near the exhaust outlet somewhere - not sure .

My Mazda mechanic -- who actually seems pretty good with a lot of years of rotary experience -- recommends Shell.

NoTears316

Well, this isnt your normal car, so you probably haven't heard of it with other cars. It's hard to explain actually, but it is located near the tail pipe.
