Help with Rebuild - what can I get away with not replacing
Guys,
I recently bought an RX8, which I thought had blown coolant seals. The great news is the seals are fine! The bad news is it appears the engine was run without oil. The eccentric shaft and intermediate housing are all torn up.
I fairly new to Rotaries and engine rebuilds in general. What do you think of the following pictures? Do I need to replace these parts or could I get away with it? Could the shaft be ground if I could find someone to do it?
I'm going to need a new bearing
Could this be ground off?
Thanks
