Is there another car to get the fuel injectors off of? like an eclipse or 626 or something? also is the gasket kit from rotaryaviation.com good? I might be going with that one. And if everything is good, like apex seals, housings, etc., What do I have to replace when putting the engine together? And also what kind of paint do you use to paint the housings? Want to make it look new. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

For painting the engine, do not use high temp engine paint. The stuff in like a silver can. It looked good for a while. Then I used a friendly engine degreaser and it was so good, it removed the paint too!!! WTF!! I don't really care though, it's covered by the fan anyhow.

They are good.



When doing a rebuild if all the hard parts are good, I usually replace all the springs, and apex seals. Then upgrade to fd corner seal springs, webber 200 jets, and fd oil pressure reg. I check to see if the side seals and corner seals are within spec, and ofcourse clearance everything. Cleaning up the ports is a must also. I have used the high temp engine paint for the rotors in the past with good results.

Also how do you unsrew the oil lines off of the front of the engine? That is the only thing in my way. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

What about this place, RotorSportsRacing.com. The rebuild kit looks pretty nice and a little pricey. I might get there oil metering lines too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

you usually use those parts eh? when was your last rebuild? HA! anyway, leave the oil jet part out. you don't want to do that. otherwise, all of these rebuild "kits" are just a bunch of stock parts complied by the different companies (maybe exception of apex seals). so basically you are just paying extra for convience. if you have a local dealership, write down all the part numbers before hand that you will need and see if it is cheaper. i have a feeling it would be if you are willing to take the trip and wait for the parts.

So how do I take off the oil lines going to the engine? I got the front loose, but i still does not come out. I have also took out all the ac stuff. weh, that is alot of stuff. I am going to get the braided lines for the oil nozzles from that place too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif They look nice.
