It looks like your AIT sensor on the 3rd pic is missing a prong. There should be 2

just a little update on some progress that ive made over the last couple of weeks. sorry most of the pics were taking at night, sens thats when i worked on it( not the best pics).

note that im no pro builder, not only is this the first engine ive ever rebuild, but its a rotory (19 years young) . so please take it easy on the comments.

i perty much started out by ordering some seals and gaskets from Atkins and a couple other things from ebay, most of the stuff is new but not all. i was kinda on a budget. i ordered:

13B 86-95 Side Seal Set
86-95 Side Seal Spring Set
Atkins 13B 2mm Apex Seal Set
93-95 Corner Seal Spring Set
Oil Ring Spring Set
86-2009 13B 2mm Rx7 & Rx8 Apex Seal Spring Set
86-95 O-Ring Kit
Atkins' Thermal Pellet
Oil Filter
4oz Gasgacinch Gasket Sealer (not sure why i got that)

shocker003

next up i we to eBay and garbed some corner seals and oil control seals. new they would of ran me about 350 extra so i decided to get some used ones.
they looked to be in good some so i used them...
i gave them a cleaning.

also for the side oil seas the wear mark was with in spec, other reason why i used them.

shocker003

after that i turned to the irons. i took them down to pine apple racing (awesome place, robs the man! lots of help and info) he said they plates were about half way worn, (if that makes sens), that they were with in specs and they were ok to use in a rebuild so i did. i did some reading on "lapping" the plates with some sand paper, so thats what i did. i started off with some 150 with a DA. i went about 10 min then switched discs about half way through using a two discs for side. at first i was kinda scared of hurting the plates, but it takes a while to see some changed. i did not try to get rid of all the previous wear marks from the oil control seals, just kinda scuff it a bit. sanding in a figure 8 pattern trying to keep the DA moving at a constant smooth rate. after i went another 10 min with some 380 grit. took about 1 hour or so tottal. the whole point was to help with the oil rentenation or how ever you call it. kinda hard to notice when i switched.

Wow... Those rotors had some crazy buildup to be low mileage. Anyone else notice the large amounts of rust built up on the housings too? When my old S5 block was torn apart it didn't look that bad, it was a low mileage motor. 65k.

shocker003

yea your right, after getting in to it and looking at the parts there is some wear on them. the plates have bin sitting for a while so im sure that didint help as far as the rust goes. i should of keepet everything old up

jerd_hambone

Like everyone said, check and double check your clearances. Looks like it sat with water in it for a while.

Just make sure to get the bits of rust and metal dust from the lapping out, should be good.

I like a build with a lot of pics.

shocker003

yesir, i tryed to make sure everything was with in spec, replaced what ever i could. and i used the air hose to blow them off after and well as pressure washed. ill get more pics up soon, kinda tired as of right now. i was talking loots of pics at the beginning of the build but kinda got lazy.

durtled

so in refrence to ur first post in this thread. since its an s5 and is left hand drive it should have came with a n370 stock. jdm had n374's the jdm computer will plug right in but won't work without being chipped 1st. rear rotor won't fire and such.

shocker003

so your not saying its jdm?

Just call it "sanding" or "cleaning up" because that process ain't "lapping" by any stretch of the term.

You should probably recheck the irons for flatness. A DA may give you a smooth finish, but it isn't necessarily flat.

shocker003

here are some pics of the porting process. didn't really try to remove too much material, i kinda wanted to keep it some what stock sens its my first build. first i used some kind of a metal grinder a friend of mine let me use. after that i used a stone and then sand pappier. over all i think ti turned out perty good. kind of a long process, pain in the a. as you can see on a couple of the pics the grinder slipped and i made contact with the face of the iron, ouch. again sorry the pics are dark and not so clear.
