Welding water jacket is for RX7 engines where the o ring groove was in the iron. N/A for the Renesis.

Okay forum I'ma just be the bad guy and get it over with.

Kamal, your whole engine is toast. Irons, housings, likely the rotors are out of spec. Only thing -maybe- salvageable is the eshaft. I wouldn't even use that. Just get a motor from Rotary Ressurection and call it a day

Not an unexpected response. Thanks for being upfront and typical. LOL. I am however still going to clean up each part and check their specs. That is the point of this forum, right?
