corner of an apex seal chipped off and made a nice gash in my rear housing! yaaay! ******!







and here we have the engine layed out how it is right now...







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







and here is my porting template over my port.







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!

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