S5 T2 engine rebuild
Ok so i bought this engine from a member on here about 1 1/2 years ago. It was supposed to have only 2k miles on a rebuild. He did the rebuild himself with all new bearings and did a large street port with a kilo racing template. So i bought it and put it in. The oil always thinned out and smelled of gas after 500 miles, so i know sumthing wasnt right.....it now has 10k on it and a water seal just went. so i pulled it out and tore it apart. This is the first rotary i have had apart so i dont know wuts considered acceptable wear, wut a good port job looks like...ect. But i think this guy sucked. The edges of the ports arent straight, his dremel slipped multiple times. So let me know wut u guys think.... if u need anymore pics let me know and thnks ahead of time

here are sum more pics and sum quotes that he said about the engine when i bought it...."1990 s5 engine streetported w/ harness, ecu. all you would have to do is plug it in and go. This will not be a hit of miss because the engine is rebuild the right way with all new master rebuild kit from atkins plus new bearings." and "If you are really in need of a great engine. I have one for you and I will stand behind it. If you are looking for something cheap like with 3000 miles of life in it this is not it."

After 2 years finally got my engine back together.....All new rotor housing and irons. I shipped everything down to BDC to get a HBP done and have it balanced.

looks very nice mate.. good on you for hanging in there
might want to clean some paint back before you fit the inlet manifold gasket
might also want to get someone to set your endfloat up again.. you have the timing cover and sump fitted.. no pulley and motor horizontal..
you must redo the the front stack again.. and keep it vertical until the pulley bolt is done up .. please do this else you risk the engine

Yea this was my first rotary build, but i spent enough money on the housings and irons that i wasn't about to try and port them myself which is why i sent them to Brian....and im glad i did
