I like putting the rotor in before the housing. This way you can see if any seals fell out/etc as you're setting it down on the stationary gear.

So far it looks fine, but there is no way to tell unless we saw every last seal and every last casting where the water jacket likes to corrode, etc.

I've had to redo my engine build 7 times because of mistakes, and that's part of the game of becoming an experienced rotary rebuilder.

What exactly went wrong with your previous build?
