possible cracked rotor housing
 

gday pals, got me some dramas i need a bit of help with.

long story short (well ill try to)

been needing to top up coolant quite a bit lately, with no external leaks (obviously its going inside =[) tried to start the 8 up yesterday and after several attempts i tried all the de flooding procedures, thinking it was severelly flooded. removed the spark plugs and gave it a crank to piss off any excess unburnt fuel and to the ultimate fml moment a good 600ml coke bottle of coolant decided to come pissing out of the plugs in the rear rotor housing.

im going to rip the motor out of the car next week and break it down. The quick questions i have are these. Is there some sort of a seal/gasket inbetween the chambers were water could be leaking from? or is a cracked rotor housing the only explanation?
ive been hunting for motors/front cuts (just incase the ultimate fml turns out to be a cracked rotor housing) but am having trouble finding decent places. Would prefer to go jdm or usdm as theyre relativley low km's and affordable. If anyone has had any experience or know of good places/sites to contact i would be really greatful. Also are the motors interchangeable? my 8 is an 03 6speed, so pretty much what im asking would an 05 or anyother mt engine fit?

if it is just a seal, mazda has quoted me for a master rebuild kit for $860aud. as im going into the motor anyway thought id mightaswell go all out in a rebuild provided its not a crack, and nothing has warped/distorted.

Any help would be appreciated, but please leave the smartass remarks with your misses =]

thanks guys :biggthump

u don't even know how the engine works

search is ur friend

That's a side seal, they go if the engine overheats, and you get coolant in there. It's a whole rebuild.

Thanks mate.

How about this. I came on here to get some help, if you wanna be a champion and start being the mr "search" man then please dont even bother. And whats meant by i dont even know how the engine works?

I'm not sure if u are serious but that answer is wrong inside out

u mean u are here for spoon feeding?

if u know how the engine works, how is it build and made, u wouldn't bother with a stupid ? like this.

oh, u can find all ur answer in less than 30 seconds with a simple search. fool


again...

SEARCH!!!

What does one have to do with the other

lol, full rebuild.. sigh.. i think im close to $5,000.00 in parts for internals and irons. not including the rotor housings. GL my friend :)

Guys the kind of responses to Dans13b is totally out of order. Help the guy please!

the kind of respond is exactly what he deserves

definitely isnt the kind of response he deserves, aren't forums mainly used for trouble shooting? i dont think everyone knows exactly what route the coolant takes in and around the engine. so if you do know why he has coolant in his rotor housing then why not share?

simply because it's your car, your problem.

sure most of us here is more than willing to help but ONLY if u actually shown us that you did your part first -----

if u don't do shit and just sit there and scream for help AKA wants us to spoon feed you with info, well, I'm not sure about how others feel but for me, I would NEVER help anybody like that.

he wants to break the engine open without even know how the engine is put together, morons like this will just create more problems and guess what happens next ? ----- he will blame the car , not his own dumb self.

Hahaha mate who the fuck do you think you are you arrogant piece of shit. What you think just because I dont know the correct terminology I dont know NY way around the motor? came on here thinking sweet Rx8 club someone will be able to point me in the right direction, instead got some pretty fucking grim answers from 2 cunts who seem to know everything. Just so you know, the engind came out and was completely rebuilt in my own garage. parts from Mazda along with aftermarket clutch flywheel pulleys intake and exhaust. Wanna know the best part, fired up first shot and has never been better.
So next time if someone asks for a bit of advice have some fucking courtesy and respect to help the person out, otherwise keep your fucking useless opinions to yourself. fuckfaces like you that deserve your motor turning to shit, but dw you should ve sweet cause you seem to k ow alot ey? The day that happens remember im the fuckhead that wished it upon you... To every one else, thanks for trying to help out a bit.

On a final note, if I get deleted after this post couldnt give 2 fucks anyway. My 16 yearold brother was more help.
Peace

Btw, if anyone has a similar problem im more than happy to help out, but thats just me hey
