Hi cjle17, I was worried that no one from MRC had used them before and you have pretty much confirmed my initial concerns. However, I\'m glad my engine doesn\'t need a rebuild and hopefully Carl will confirm this when I visit him next week. Thanks for posting. It\'s a real shame the way they avoided further communication with you after agreeing the date.

Hi TURBOIINUTTAH, I think you are probably right and I think it\'s for the best considering their lack of courtesy.

Hi Rixio, so you\'re the mystery man . Thanks for your help, mate. :cheers

Hi Folks

Well, what a day it has been. Before heading off to Carl\'s, I tried to replace a split vac pipe and ended up breaking the valve spigot and had to super glue it. It turned out to be an exceptional repair job. It didn\'t come off during the 3 hour journey to Carl\'s :cool . It was admired by all at Hayward :chat .

Carl and crew has confirmed, via compression test, that the engine has not blown an Apex seal :cool . Compression were all even around 6.7 so is in pretty good shape. However, there are two areas where the lower inlet gasket has blown causing boost leaks and likely high idle. I\'ll be going back to Carl\'s, probably next week, to have this done along with the Apexi fuel mapping and replacement of rear bushes. Other minor issues were sorted thanks to Carl, Ian and Geoff.

Carl and his team have given me a quality and cost effective service and I would recommend them highly to other rotary owners. It\'s nice to see enthusiast at work :cheers .   Big thanks to Tim and Tom for teas and Maccie D.

On the engine rebuild subject

I have an fd 93,
I was pulling away from a junction, warm engine at 3000rpm and the power just dissappeared. No accerator response whatsoever.
Went down a side road to let it idle and check, but pulled over and it cut out. I knew that the engine was shagged, I feared the obvious. Got it home and it just cut out.

There I was, brickking it, thinking where I was getting the cash from. Turned the car back on, off the key and it started, I was amazed that it was running, it was running at about 300-500 rpm. Very concerned. opened the bonnet and the engine was shaking from side to side about 6 inches either side of the engine resting position.

The exhaust was just going bang bang bang constantly, and firing 2 foot flames out the exhaust.

I KNEW IT WAS BAD

I rung reworx in portsmouth and from my description I rebuild is needed.

CAN ANYONE HELP???????????????

cheers
