How hard is it to crack open an engine and replace all of the seals? I'd like to try my hand at a rebuild, but since the engine runs great now, I'd hate to screw up a rebuild and have to buy another one. Also, how hard is it to do a mild port job? I know templates are available, but should I leave the porting to the pros? Obviously, I'm not looking for 400+ hp, just a little more airflow.

 

i tore down my TII engine in about 5 hours. i would let somebody port the housings just so you don't risk damaging a good housing. its not that hard but it does take alot of time to rebuild. i would probably wait till winter to tear it down

 

That's what I was thinking. How much would a port job cost if I sent the housings out, assuming they're in good enough condition?

 

usually $300. how far away is pineapple from you ?

 

ATKINS rotary told me $150 for a street port,,,and $300 for a bridge

 

All I'd want is a street port...I don't want to have to use different apex seals...well, maybe I should upgrade them.



Where is pineapple?

 

Pineapple racing is located in Portland, and Hawaii.

 

pineapple is in Portland, OR ^_^

 

Hmmm...that's really far from here.

 

i have no clue. he is in iowa. i'm on the right coast LOL . best bet is probably pay to ship them to him. shipping shouldn't be too bad ground like $40
