Budget 12A SP build

Wow! Quick reply. Thanks.

These are 2 peice seals so, all good except one of the small corner pieces
is broken.

So the oil control rings are not shiny at all and I assume that means they
are fairly new and reusable?

Is there an easy or trick way to push out the bearings from the rotor? I have
a large tool for pressing out various sized ball joints for trucks maybe I can
use that. Maybe some heat would help as well.

On the porting, I also think bigger is not always better but most of the
SP exhaust looked they would cover this area. Need pics for sure so you
all can advise me on that. I think I'll do the porting but haven't decided
yet.

I think I may use the A engine eshaft since the bearings are already matched
to that eshaft. I just have to get them pressed out carefully so I can reuse
them in the B engine rotors. The A engine rear rotor is toast and I'm having to
work pretty hard to get the hard seals all out. Mostly due to the rust that
formed when it sat with the coolant in it.

How do most folks get the bearings out of the rotors?

Favorite DIY methods or tools?

I know I can take them somewhere and have them pressed out but if I
can, I want to do it myself. More fun for me
