engine rebuild

[Jus]

@Dave

I\'ll provide you with prices later on, I\'ll need to total everything up.

@ Carl, after messuring up everything as you discribed, our engine end play was .0021 thousand of ". We had to replace one side plate, fortunately for us most of the engine was in good condition.

Good fun...

I rebuilt my first just before christmas (FD Twin Turbo),  i\'m not a mechanic, far from it,  all that is required is common sense and a fair bit of space.  I used Bruce Turrentine\'s video, which was excellent.  I dont know how much Jus wants for a rebuild kit,  but //www.atkinsrotary.com sell complete kits with everything you need, including the video.  It is about 1100 dolars from memory.

It is 10% removal, 10 % refitting and 80% cleaning and checking all the parts.  If you have thrown an Apex seal you can pretty much guarantee you will need a rotor and a rotor housing.   I have done 1000 miles in mine now and have given some stick, it seems to be ok so far.  I did a little bit of exhaust and inlet porting on mine while it was apart, but if your building a Twin turbo, you may have trouble with boost if you enlarge the exhaust ports.   i would say go for it,  the feeling of starting for the first time wwhen you built it yourself is superb......

Some excellent advice Carl - thanks for that, and Jus, could you let me know some prices too, or good sources.

Its threads like this that give people the courage to get out and rebuild their own engines, and in turn help the rotory scene grow - which we need as it would seem we have a lot of catching up to do with the States and Aus!

Jus! One week! How many hours?! The problem I\'ve got, and probably most other people who attempt a rebuild is time! Its the odd evening here, and weekend there...

Cheers,

Mike.

Hello Guys im new to this forum, but been a steady member on rx7club.com for over a year now, since i bought my seven.

And i searched trough looking for rebuild kits. And got a hit on this thread. I know it\'s old but i need som answers fast.

Im going to England this week, to pick up a RX7. But im also looking for rebuild kits. I wan\'t to buy some while im there, so that i don\'t need to pay for shipping, and taxes when the parts get to norway.

So if anyone could point me to someone that have complete rebuild kits in England it would be real great

BTW Is there anyone that knows if i can get Tanabe Coilovers in England also?
