Heres the Rotor housings and the Rear end Plate.Whats Inside a Rotary Engine You ask....
Well I found some old pics from when I rebuilt the 13B engine in my Rx2.. so lets find out......
Heres the Rotor housings and the Rear end Plate.
Note that the Chrome is totally intact on these
Rotor housings, as expected, since the engine still had fantastic
compression (120 p.s.i.) when dismantled. The reason the engine
was disassembled was due to coolant leaking into the # 1
combustion chamber. The apparent fault in the car was that when
the car got hot, coolant was bypassed out of the radiator cap and
hmm all over the place. After replacing the radiator cap and the
fault still occuring, it was obvious there was too much pressure
in the water system. This was due to the fact that combustion
pressure was entering the water passage. Also after leaving the
car overnight and removing the spark plugs, bright green coolant
could be seen on the tips of the spark plugs in #1 chamber.
The side plates have just come back from Machining
at Interbrown. He used to charge $80 a set to get machined.
Heres the Engine after re-assembly. Note the
factory 13B Sump has been reversed as the engine was to be used
in an Rx2.
And from the front.
The Exhaust side. This engine was the good one of
two which originally came from two wrecked Rx5's that Myself and
Micheal purchased years ago.... pulled the engines and trannies
and then dumped.
More to come ...
