cant forget the rebuild kit! 1000 bucks for this!!

and here is my porting template over my port. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR



http://sidewinderx7.com/images/port.jpg



so all in all, the engine is ok except for the housing. Should be ported and put back together in a week or so.. im waiting on a couple parts. So yeah.. wish me luck! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

rotor isn't messed up???? that's pretty amazing

no scratches or dings on the rotor... i was surprised too...

Good luck!

what about the tips ?

yah thats pretty good if its just the housing, its prolly bad anyways



mike

Why does everything look so BURNT/blackened in there? That housing looks like ass anyhow..

Good luck with your re-build. I see that the rotor housing has seen better days.

everything isnt burt, its just dirty... really really dirty.. lol.. i'll clean it all up and take pictures again. Yeah, i need a good housing. Anyone know where i can buy one thats cheaper than 200? I dont mind if its used, i just need a good one.

You can go alot bigger than that port template you know.

i'm still suprised the rotor is ok. in my engine, the rotor, and the grooves were both destroyed when my apex seals went.



lucky bastard.

i was only using this template as a reference for sizes. Had i know it was so utterly useless i wouldnt have spent the 80 bucks (with shipping) on these stupid pieces of ****. :( Im gonna go bigger, thats for sure https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR and my exhaust is going a little bigger also.



As for the engine. Thing is the apex seal didnt really like shatter or anything. A corner chipped off (small break) and that made the 1 gash. The rotor has a couple little scraps in it, but nothing bad. I will take pictures tomorrow when everything is done soaking in carb cleaner. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I have never seen irons so Black everywhere, I'm used to them being totally clean... I have a couple of housings from an n/a that are scracthless, let you have one for $40...

haha don't lie to the man...

Just checked I have one without a scratch on it, no edges flaking and no cracking near the spark plug holes, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png





















































Bitch.

the housings the same? I could swear the 91 TII housings are different.

Even fd ones will work, the only differnce between s4 and s5 housings is the egr passage. Just need to block it.

s4 jdm housings (maybe s5 jdm too, never seen one) have the leading plugs a little lower



mike

why is that? that sounds retarded. I dont want 1 leading plug lower than the other... that would cause some issues....

they get a little more timing, but you prolly dont want to mix those up
