DATED 9-22-07
Well last night I went outside and started removing everything and bagging up parts etc... here is what I acomplished in abotu an hour, hour and a half..
And here is a pic of the engine openings (best I could get)
Well today was the day for the big tare down and boy was it a fun one lol... I learned quite a bit and got to see alot first hand and it was a blast..
On the other hand I got to see what a NOT NEW engine looks like... both rotor housings appear to be a GREAT shape.. not flawless but in very good shape. The irons also appear to be in GREAT shape.. The rotors are a different thing though.. they are COMPLETLY covered in ash and carbon.. I am going to have to give them a good soak and cleaning to see if they are ok.. otherwise the sides and the apex seal lips seem to be ok (more specing will be needed to verify)
The irons have not been ported (never told they were just stating facts), so those will get a good street port.
anywho onto the pics.
The tool:
WAIT thats not the tool thats RX7Tuner aka Brian, (the Muscle/Brains of the opperation)
The tool (flywheel nut removal tool):
I was suprised that is a HUGE tool and that nut is HARD AS HELL to get off especially with the engien not on a stand.
Another tool (flywheel tooth holder):
sorry thats a bad pic of it I should have taken it out of the bag but we need to move on!
The rotors:
The last one shows you where it was nicked a bit form a screw that was droped into the engine (prior to be buying the engine, however it looks like the only damage was on the rotor and not the housing)
The housings:
I know the picture quality is not that great however I can take more pics tomorrow we were busy and I wanted to snap some quickies and move on!
The irons:
Using your fingers on both the irons and the houisngs you dont feel ANY imperfections or scratches/gouges.
The e-shaft:
Again not a great pic but it also is in GREAT shape
Today I am going to un bolt the tranny and hopefully get the engine on higher ground.
Later today Brain AKA RX7Tuner is gonna come over and help me disasemble the entire engine and this way twe can start looking at what this is REALLY like...
I will update this thread later with more pics. BTW I did turn the engien over last night (ratchet on the pulley bolt) and it turned over VERY EASY and had compression (I could hear it POPPING out of the intake port)
Keeping the rotor seals correct Brian said "lets draw our diagrahms":
The clutch that came out of it (for sale slightly used looks fine should be a S4 T2 clutch kit 50.00 shipped USA)
The aftermath:
All in all we had a fun day. We started by going to pickup a S5 engine for Brian, then we grabbed lunch (THX Brian for that), then we came back to my place and got so nasty and dirty but it was a BLAST...
Look forward to more pics, info etc very soon!!
