A very brief description:
I purchased this car from a co-worker after I tested the compression on the motor and verified that it had a dead front rotor. The chassis had 106,000 on it and besides needing paint, was, and is, still a pretty cool car. My plans were to rebuild the motor, at minimum, to get the car running again. After completing motor disassembly today, January 4th, 2003, and finding out how damaged the motor actually is, I'm not sure as to what I will do with it.
I thought you guys (and girls, the few of you) might enjoy seeing pictures of the badly damaged motor that came out of my 1985 RX-7 GSL. They aren't of great quality or lighting, but I they will do for now. I will post a few pictures and let you all check out the remaining slides at my photo album on nopistons.net if you so desire. Enjoy.

The car.
The empty engine bay. I tried not to cut any wires while pulling it out.
In the process of disassembly.
Side housing.

The following pictures are of the front rotor housing, which will make a nice mantle piece. Long, deep scaring and grooves were present as well as massive chaffing of the chrome plating on the inside. The chatter marks were rough enough to feel by hand.

I see, I have a 82 Cherokee Laredo with a AMC 360, and always liked those pick ups, never ever see them around here.
