we decided to pull the head off the race car, cause it was using oil and water.



the time it took to pull the head, i could have had the whole rotary out and apart!



not to mention the block, head, pistons are all ****, just because its "simple" doesnt mean you can just slap it together!

I'm up to my elbows in a Chrysler 2.0 DOHC as we speak. Blown head gasket--oil was getting into the coolant. Pulling the head was not much fun.

ours is a honda! and its 100% trash, from a parts reclamation standpoint its WORSE than a rotary.



besides, in a rotary the gerbil goes around, in a piston it jumps up and down! WTF

That's one tuckered out gerbil!

theres a myth about Hondas lasting in the racing world. around here they seem to never stop running, but it only seems that way becuase they steal a new motor every week to replace the old broken one!



but toyotas really made out of some secret material. i know a few people running 20-30 psi on stock motors with shitty home tunes or stock ECU's! and they still dont break!!! and this goes for the 1.8, 4ag, 4ag-ze, old tacoma block...dosnt matter. i know the ze is stock forged from the factory though.
