Looks pretty good inside, I believe it has fd corner seals. Its dirty, but the housings/rotors are in good shape. But the front bearing has copper showing on the barbad(sp?) soft inner liner... So I think im going to completely rebuilt/oil modify and BP the motor..

i got a 13b that I want to rebuild but I want to port and stuff LOL.

I tried to do my TB(Spare) and got more material off my fingers than the TB so im scared to do my own port. I don't think grinding stones are the tool for the job huh? It scracthed it up pertty good but as we speak im sanding it by hand.



I hope your rebuild goes good post details of THE LEARNING experiencs. so us less fortunate Rotor heads have a heads up!
