lol, i spoke too soon. i pulled my excellent running, but dowel pin leaking 12a to fix the dowel pin leak (it was getting bad), and the housings look like mr army's! mind you this is an engine that would start on a tap of the key when it was hot, and made good power too.



pics to be forthcoming

shouldn't be too bad, the 13b housings dont peel they just wear. at that mileage they might not be worth reusing once you get it apart

1984 Mazda Rx-7 12A 102,000Km +



As you can tell I rescued this one from the scrap heap, it needs lots of love, time and then some. But I am a reasonable guy with all of those things.



With the Judges help it should be seeing 10s passes this upcoming summer.

Well we just got the 6 port apart today and off to the porting bench I go.



Tax Time.



Anyone got a set of 86 and up N/A rotor housings in good shape for sale? I already checked the FS section.
