Who's car? I know it is not yours. I've never actually seen anything that bad, although I've heard stories about things like that. Ed |

> 2. you then ignore the oil warning light! Back in the 70's, I got a great deal on a Mazda Rotary. I had my pick of an RX4 with a seized motor, or an RX-2 with a motor that I could turn by hand on the fan belt with the plugs out. It took the turner. I disassembled it (it should come apart front to back like a stack of donuts on a stick). I couldn't get it to come apart. The housings were free, but they weren't lifting off the "stick", the crank. That's because the rotor bearings had seized and ripped completely free of the rotor, about 1/4" thick on the crank journal. I can't remember the damage to the rotor housings, but the rotor would have been flopping around in there, probably not good. I bolted it back together, and used it for the core against a Mazda rebuilt. -- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley Lake, CA, USA GPS: 38.8,-122.5 |
