What do u wanna do w/ it? And the car?

PX Brotherhood

i would sell it if i could. i going for perfomance and reliability in my car. so i dont know if i should just keep it and take it apart a couple times just for learning sake.

If i rebuilt it what kind of money could i get for it?

Most people take them apart and sell the useable parts, if you dont need to use it for a core for your own rebuild. Cores sell whole (block) for $100-200USD most of the time, depending on condition. IF it blew apex seals, you're going to find a destroyed rotor and rotorhousing, so half of it is unuseable regardless.

It'll be hard for you to sell a rebuild if you've never even done one yourself. It's a bad idea for you, and a worse idea for the person that buys it. No offense, but who is to say that it is done correctly? I wouldn't want to be the person buying a rebuild from joe schmoe, who had never done one previously, or even seen inside one. Not exactly confidence inspiring, you know. Because of this, you would probably only get a few hundred USD out of it. Barely enough to cover the cost of the replacement rotor and housing, and seals/gaskets, if that.

Depends on the condition of the blown engine. If the parts aren't usable at all, you can always sell it as a display rotor and housing.

Where abouts do you live? I'm near barrie on. I'd be interested in the motor. But if you want I can do a rebuild for you. Port and polish if you like. I also do a lot of fabrication. PM me if you're interested.

i thought doing a rebuild would be easy enough, 2 tear downs on my engine later and still having problems with no simple reason for failure has given me a reason to only trust a reputable rotary builder.

I've built 3 so far so good. Anyway if you're gonna sell the eng pm me and let me know what you want for it.

However I'm not interested in one that's already built and unless you've built them before you'll have a hard time getting more than $500-600. At least that's what most of the guys in my area are like.

Dang, you're in Canada. I've always wanted to get a hold of a busted 13b just to rip it apart and play with it. Rebuilding would be fun if I had the time and money to do it.

I was actually almost tempted to try and get a core from the u pull it yard for cheap, rebuild it, and save it for the day I find a cheap TII with a blown motor (like that'll happen in my area).
