[I ordered four new telfon encapsulated coolant O rings from McMaster-Carr for ~$45, pulled, disassembled, and reassembled my engine and had the car running in about 10 hours of labor. /QUOTE]



What is the part number for these O rings?

Well, interesting approach from PINEAPPLE, Spoke with JOEL; after being unable to get in touch with ROB. Joels solution: "Just run some PRESTONE block sealer in it"

Sounds like Joel doesnt' know **** or is blowing u off.



I would like to see block sealer used when a piston engine blows a head gasket, it doesn't work.

if i recall correctly..

some of the porting issues comin from the pineapple camp..

..was from their additional help as rob was beginning to spread duties..

possibly to include rebuilding...the issue may lie in quality control..

So you spend $3500-5000 on a motor and they tell you to put block sealer in it?



I'd tell Joel to shove it up his ******* ***.

I bet he has never saw the internals of a 13b either then.I give it 2000 miles before it gets worse running that crap in your motor.

Just run block sealer ? WTF ????? I would've cursed his *** out right there. Block sealer will **** up your radiator, waterpump, etc.... But that's besides the point. THey need to rebuild it and fix the prob. Call my boy David Biggers if you want to go with an independent Rotary engine builder who knows his ****. PM me for Dave's contact info. if you are interested.
