hey, can the 12a templates be modified to use on a 13b-tt for streetporting or are the ports just generally too small to use on our engine?

Just out of curosity - does no one want to rebuild their own engines? is it a matter of time or lack of knowledge. I am looking to buy a 3rd gen with a blown engine just so I can rip it down in the garage and rebuild it. - P'Cola, this is nothing against you I am just trying to find out if people think its too hard or rather if its too time consuming...

I think some people lack the tools, time, and confidence to do it themselves. It's not that big a deal, but some people don't even know how to change their own oil.

Damn I'm really thinking about this now. I'll see if any of my friends can help me take my motor out.

Man, I'll drop you a PM soon.

Aren't all the parts $700?

Depends on what you need, go to rotaryaviation.com for good priced rebuild kits. You may not need all the new parts, though. I can take apart your engine, and index everything to see what you need/don't need, and get you to buy the appropriate parts. Keep in mind also that your rotor housings may need replacing.

My thoughts exactly. Keep in mind, I am in the same boat as you P'Cola - I have never done one. I have reviewed the Bruce Turrentine tape over and over and the factory manual for the 93 (found it at a used book store in Tampa a while back) and it seems pretty straightforward. The common response from everyone that I see on here is "take your time" and "follow the directions"

not to mention there are some really great people around these forums who will help you out anytime....
