https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png well after 13 years and 144,000 HARD miles the engine in my gsl-se quietly lost an apex seal. this motor had seen 25mpg, 9500+ rpms, and most of the racetracks in northern california.
replacing it will be a gsl-se block with s5 na rotors and flywheel, i built the replacement in 99.... |
thats a bummer man.
she will live again though! |
havent you been trying to kill that motor for a while?
|
PICS!, WRITE-UP!
|
woohoo! gsl-se block with s5 na rotors. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
So you finally blew it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png That is a good life. I remember back in the days when people would say "dont buy a rotary, You need to replace the points (apex seals) every 60,000 km's" how you proved them wrong. |
yes ive been trying to kill it for like 3 years now. havent changed the oil in like 2
|

I've seen video of the engine in a rx going it was awesome...
My friend Shin was running down I-270 here at about 90 when he sees a cop in the median up ahead... Guess what he does? Instead of slamming the brakes he downshifts to fourth and blows it... He said it got to 12,000 rpm's before it poped... When we took it apart on of the rear apex seals was gone and I mean destroyed... I was suprised only one apex seal went... The engine would still run just not very well... just got mine put together I don't plan on blowing it any time soon... P.S. I want Turbo II's racer girl She's got some Tig ol' Bitties... -C- https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif |
