ok well i'm two sceonds from selling it. Any buyers? It's just a thought!

1revin7 12-30-2002 10:50 AM

do the test in the leading holes?

I'm sorry, trailing. Did i say leading. Same thing put trailing will put out the most.

ok so I pulled the leading plugs, the rear rotor plug looked great! Didn't even look used, looked like brand new, still shiney brass and the platnium spark thing is still white. But the front rotor was pitch black. Looks aweful! there is only about an hour of running time on these plugs. I mean the front rotor plug is about as bad as I have ever seen a plug. So she's blown 'eh?

this doesn't look good for you.............................................



umm if your gonna sell its not even worth it.... a blown rx7 is not worth alot....

sounds like a very dead engine to me... you can pull a plug and have sombody turn the engine over and listen to the pulses.. If it goes pshhh puh puh.. it's dead, since it idols fairly well you may have just burn the tip of apex seal... What evey you do, don't get on it or you'll tear the rest of the apex's up and most definitly kill the rotor and housing for sure, if they arn't already dead...



The finger on the spark plug method also works well.. I've just had a bad experiance with a near by plug wire trying to stop my heart from beating before.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Pull the ign fuse before you do it.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

were can I find a good price on a long block 13b? I figure scence I have the cash and 80k mi. I might as well get a tough long block. You know kind of a tougher engine, 3mm apex ect.
