Jwteknix... get used to it. LOL, sorry, i couldn't help it...i've been thru 13-14 engines so far. Anyway, i'm impressed that you got the engine out with a broken robo cop arm. Good job.





Do you have a regular engine stand? (for a v6-8) Just cover the shipping and i'll send you my rotary engine adapter to use with to make your build a lil easier.

Grey GTC thanks alot!! I really apperceiate your generosity, but I just purchase one from mazdatrix

So got the motor in the basement and mounted.

Removed the oil pan and pick up, spend an hour removing all the silicone.

Got the front bolt loose only took an 8ft pipe on the breaker bar was surprised the shitty mazdatrix weld held up on the flywheel stopper. Did find the termal pellet was replaced but the regulators werent upgraded.

Took the front cover off removed the pump, chain, and everything down to the stationary gear.

Flipped it broke free all of the torsion bolts and removed rear stationary gear only thing left is to crack it open gotta wait til later



I did notice on of the bolts had an old mazda emblem on it is this normal?



Also noticed I am running a N/A rear housing theres no coolant passange to the LIM. I was gonna block them anyway. Is there any other problems with this?



ill post pix later

yeah, the odd ball "M" bolt goes on the exhaust side of the engine, down at the oil pan. It's the only one that is exposed to the outside of the engine (where it passes by the rotor housings)

So I did a ruff degreasing on everything, then packed it up to meet the Judge himself at his new shop Advanced Rotary Performance hes just moving in, but hes back and like 20 minutes from me in Paterson.

I contacted him the other day about some porting templates and housings Id like to purchase.

He replied quickly and gave me his number and new shops address.

We met up at the new shop hes renovating and he is very nice, I was there for over an hour talking rotary and hes very knowledgeable.

He inspected all my plates and housings for me.

Told me not to spend my money lapping the housings on my first build, that mine are in reuseable condition. God forbid some thing happened I wouldnt wana waste all that money. He said I should get more expeirience and confidence before spending the big bux on everything, I feel hes right. He said the ports are mild and could just use some minor touch up im gonna purchase some of his larger templates and purchase a pineapple exhuast template.

The housings are ok, Im gonna replace the rear one with one of Itos and keep the front even tho it has some very minor flaking in the compression area they both will be brought to John at Goopy for resurfacing.

Cant wait to start this build. Looking for alittle over 400whp. Ito sid thats fine for these irons anything more Id have to upgrade.

For now,

James

Took a bunch pix this morning while doing a bit more ruff cleaning and inspecting. my rotor slots and oil ring passages still have to be cleaned and I wana clean the outside of the irons better to prep for paint and use Itos template to open them up a bit. The tII housing Im using is gonna get media blasted and resurfaced along with another Im gonna pick up from Ito. Theses will be getting a pineapple exhuast port
