Something was defiantly wrong with the engine. It was torn down the other week and both rotor bearings were destroyed.

Engine is currently in the process of being rebuilt, builder ordered the parts about a week ago. The rebuild was sort of at a stand still for the last few weeks since I moved and changed jobs which tied up funds for a little bit.

Rebuild. And it will be going in on friday.


I have a thread on rx7club for the repu. Not much going on with it other than daily driver duty since my main goal is to get the rx8 running properly. The repu will be getting some major attention though down the road.
