I gave a rotary engine class to a small group of rx7 club members in the fall of 2005 at my Mom's farm in Spokane Washington U.S.A. It was very informal, but should be informative to those enthusiasts who might want to rebuild their own engine someday. We taped the class in hopes of making a film for those in attendance, but the main tape turned up empty and blank. Something had gone wrong with the camera. On 16 March 2007 I was able to recover the missing film from the tape, and was able to complete the movie. The movie basically shows us assembling an early 13b Mazda rotary engine and discussing various issues during the build. We did not get into porting or checking clearances. This is just a video of the assembly of an old 13b 4 port in case anyone wants to see how it is done.

I have given out a few copies to the members that I could get ahold and I can make more as needed. I sent a few to seattle via Kettleman. If you want a copy, get ahold of one of us or make a copy for yourself.

If you attended the class pm me and will send you a copy. I don't have any intention of selling this. The class was free and the dvd is free unless things get crazy and we need a couple bucks for shipping and handling. I don't think this will happen though because I have uploaded the avi files to filefactory.com. There are 9 parts of aprox 250 mb each. They are not compressed so you can make a nice clear copy. If need to have broadband to get these. I have not tested out the links, so give me some feedback if something dosen't work so I can correct it. Once this is tested and good to go , go ahead and post some links to the other forums (if you think someone would want to see it)



Here are the links, I hope they work:

PS I pm 2 of the moderators thinking this might step on the toes of those selling a professional dvd, but got no resonce. So rule number 1 applies: it's easier to ask forgiveness than get permission

Excellant Job John. Glad you could recover the file, it well help alot of people get started with there first engine.

Wanna do it again. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

If you want to make the whole file downloadable you can stick it on my server. Send me a PM

I din't think anyone has downloaded it yet so it might not be necessary. Last I checked only part 1 had

one download. But, who knows if the word gets out that might be a good idea. Some clown will probably

put it on ebay anyway. But feel free to do whatever if you think ifit is any good. copy, share, you-tube p2p

Lets embrace the digital age and let people have acess to it,, It was a nice event.

Just don't let Brian put his face on my body!

john

Hell John, I can't even figure out how to look at them. I gotta get that far before I can actually deface you. have no fear though. I will figure it out. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

I knew it was comming ,figured might as well get it over with.

I can't view them.

Good Job John,



I will also DL them and see if I can get them to work

You just have to put up with the advertising screens.



It is working for me on my other computer between 70 and 90 kb/sec.

That will take about an hour for each piece with my dsl.

[attachment=41567:attachment]here is a little teaser for you guys

Brian, The muffler bearing is a little to the right.





nice pictures john thanks

Whatever dave. Everyone knows john builds his motors without muffler bearings. I was looking for the headlight fluid.

i find it scary that rx7 folk wear so much plaid....

looks like great quailty vid...

partly mazda, 1 hr total, or 1 hr/section?



is this too large for me to kick over to my photobucket acct? guess i'll try it and see what they do....

Each part is about 10 min long so 1.5 hour total

720x480 res dvd quality

the bittorrent is working, about 1/3 seeded now

got downloaders from amsterdam texas and virginia

fell free to upload to your photobucket acct, I would love to see

it on there too. Most of the other places I checked had a 10 min or

100 mb limit, so they might need compressed to do that.

bittorrent link for those who can take advantage of p2p



http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3646255

well, my photobucket limit is 10 minutes per upload, but i have 5gigs of space available...

my problem is that it wont download to my mac... guess it isnt mac friendly, so i'll see if u can do a work around.

Ok here is the test: part one of 18 on photobucket , courtesy of jenkins acct.
