updates:
performed compression testing done, the sound is clean and strong and shows a good compression of the apex.

watch the video and give me an opinion

I have a block that was recently rebuilt if you end up needing an engine

That does sound all good, fine n dandy to the untrained ear, both rotors...... think the prob lies elsewhere

could it be to do with the eccentric shaft? oil starvation... bearing on the way out?
Tuner input welcome... Hayward??
Good luck and fingers crossed it\'s not the worst....

I still have to do these checks, I hope it\'s something in the area behind the gear box.
if it has them all in order, so I\'ll have to worry for eccentric shaft, bearing or more :2Confused

anyone input by Hayward, still have not read, at least i think :confused:

That is really bad news mate. However, the engine has only done 35K. Is that not a little quick for the engine to go?

?? :xconfused

Did you change the oil, filter and spark plugs often enough??

Mate, What can I say

I bought the car and I immediately changed the oil and filter, I have covered only 1500k miles. After, I changed the oil/filter again and spark plugs, spark plugs wires covered only 400/500km and I heard a noise as if something had dropped.
the car run fine no smoke, no loss of power, but you hear that noise that you saw in the video.

after my maintenance, the car was really strong, combustion was better because it was not a lot more flames from the exhaust or smoke of unburned gas. is also why I decided to change spark plugs and spark plugs wires. it was much improved :Yawn

That sounds like an apex seal has been damaged to me. Highly unlikely to be a stationary gear broken as they are as good as competition gears in the FD RX7.
If oil pressure is good then not too liklely to bearings either.

thx Carl for your valuable response,
the oil pressure is ok is the same as always, even if the test done by me for the compression is in good standing by sound pfft,pfft,pfft,pfft.

I resign myself to be a problem on apex seal? :o

billybobbooth · November 09, 2011, 03:40:18 PM

soundsmore like a bearing, if pistonlump came to me sounding like that i would point it to a bearing but this is a rex but if power ect fels good then i would put it down to bearing best is to do compretion check see what you get this wy you know if its bad bad or just bad, as alot of it maybe able to be saved.

StreetracerHCI · November 13, 2011, 04:12:44 PM

and if it were a problem around the clutch? when I heard that noise (TUMMMP) was very similar to something that was dropped

tyson23 · November 13, 2011, 06:44:26 PM

defo sounds like a tip also sounds a bit like a bearing has gone that could of thrown tip

StreetracerHCI · November 14, 2011, 07:15:12 PM

who can get in touch with Charlie?
had an engine, but I can not send private messages

StreetracerHCI · November 21, 2011, 10:30:54 PM

UPDATE another TEST: I not find any visible issues.
the worst thing is that while doing the tests, the situation has worsened. I heard another tuump!
and the noise has increased, now a thump thump feels good cyclical.
the noise coming from the front cover near the alternator and water pump, all pulley ok run well without oscillations.

I think is the oilpump issues ? Chain? Gear chain? The oil press on my defy at 80c is 3 3,5 bar max. The sensor installed on oil filter plate greddy
