Boggle, if the forum search tool isn't helping, the other option is using Google via site:rx8club.com <search text>

You have some good answers above though.

 

What specifically do you want to know?

HINT: this is just as much about experienced visual judgement as it is about actual measurement and specs. That is why the first- and second-time DIY rotary rebuilders have a harder time deciding what is good and what is bad. The manuals only give specific measurements for certain areas, many of which are not even major areas of concern; meanwhile the manuals completely skip inspection and measurement of much more critical and common issue areas.

 

thank you all for your input. ive never touched a rotary engine before so between now and december when i do my rebuild i need to accumilate as much info on it as possible. i need to find a supplier for all my gaskets, seals etc. know what im looking for and my tollerences for wear in the housings. any special tools i need to make or buy. what i can do to upgrade my engine whilst its apart. look into porting it and the pros and cons on this.

pretty much everything

thanks people

 

I'm giving a good advise and best one here go with rotary ressurrection and let him do job trust me you will save more money and headaches . If I had to do my engine again I will just have him do mine , This guy has help me a lot here and he has some good threads out their good luck .

O and I've spend more money on new parts cuz I was not sure if I needed so I just bought it . RR will know from get go.

 

Thank you for that. im in the U.K. so i dont think that will be viable because of shipping costs?

 

^ true true , theirs some good builders out in that area , good luck
