I forgot to mention that the bolts for the reat mounts on the gearbox were sheared off and left in place, as well as one of the bolts holding the wastegate actuator to the manifold.

 

I can't even begin to imagine how that dude covered up his shitty work.

 

i second that motion, i would love to see rob's response to these threads....

 

Here is a close up of the rear housing, forward side

 

Here is the corresponding mating surface to the Intermidiate iron

 

Notice the difference in color of the iron face adjacent ti the O-ring

 

Another shot of the same area on the intermidiate plate, PLate is FLAT, verified with a Straight edge

 

Same area with a scale to judge the size. This is the same side of the rotor that had all the blow-by as shown earlier in this thread

 

I 3rd that. I'd love to hear what the "master of customer service" and "rotary engine building expert" has to say (while laughing his way to the bank).

Another example of the fine workmanship from Pineapple Racing.

Petros and I worked together on our cars and sent/received our first Pineapples within a month or so of the each other during 2002. Against my advice, we took his first motor out and sent it back. Rob took it apart and reported that everything looks good and is within spec but he sent the plates out to be lapped.



The motor went back in in July 2003 and seems to be holding up after 5,000 or so miles but I don't have too much faith on a long life.
