How To Clearance 13b Side Seals - A Key To Good Compression!! - Rotary Engine Build Secrets EP-5 

You need more clearance for an RX8 build due to the Exhaust Side ports which get the side seals hotter

Dude I'm learning alot. Your gonna be one of those dudes that start of in you garage but in like 2-3 years your gonna be like the mighty car mods of rotary. Keep it up...

You are a priceless member of the rotary community, sir. Thank you.

I am rebuilding my engine, these tips videos are PERFECT! Thank you

This video actually thought me so much, if I didn't watch this is guarante, I woulda blown my side seals on my first rebuild.. So thank you

Keep making the videos man, your gonna blow up.

It’s almost as if you knew I was just about to rebuild my engine and was wondering the right way to clearance side seals. Perfect timing, loved the vid!

Perfect timing. We're just about to do this

Great video. Thanks. I'm a ways from my first build but this definitely helped me visualize the process. I'll definitely need to build some of those trays when the time comes.

Great clarification on gap per side .. I’m about to tear into a rotary f it

Very informative! Keep it up

if you cooperate and hold some talk or podcast with say, RE Specialties in Florida or some Mazda tech or japanese builder enthusiast, it would make a really great advertising campaign for all things appreciative of rotaries and similar hobbies

Good stuff 🤙🏼

Dude I love all your videos, you give so much important knowledge that’s help me with my personal SA22 , FB , and second gen FC’s s4 and S5. Thanks for always sharing everything you know! It’s a truly a big help! Quick question when you build engines , do you ever dowel them? Or when do you feel it’s necessary to dowel them? When it comes to turbo builds

Hello. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I've owned a 1979, a 1980, 3 1981's, and a 1991 rx7 and now I've bought myself a 1993 fd😊. I plan on keeping this one. I've been watching several of your videos so when the time comes for a rebuild hopefully i will fill confident enough to do it myself. What state do you live in case i feel like i need someone with your experience? Thank you.

Hi I learn so much watching your videos I got my car running I was thinking can you make a video of how or which coilovers will fit a 1984 rx7 Mazda 12a or to make your own

any idea what temperature the seals should be at while clearancing? .06%-.07% of thermal expansion for every 100 deg is enough to throw them off by a couple thousandths if your doing it in a 90 deg garage vs a 29 deg garage.

What bit did you use in the milling machine...moreso what diameter bit sis you get to fit in the corner seal groove

So I see people putting a shim in the outside lip of the side seal to check the seal. Do we have to do that to get the correct number.

what apex springs and side seals do you run all what Atkins sells? I've read a bunch of forums but Id like your personal input because frankly I trust that yk what your doing and own many. Thanks have had a gsl se for about 3 weeks now!

I'm gonna rebuild mine very soon. 13B is consuming coolant and oil. I already have the omp deleted soooo yeah. It's not terrible yet but about every 400 miles I'm having to fill coolant reservoir and a full quart of 20-50. Not leaking it. Plugs are getting fouled up about every 2000 miles. It's time.

🤘🏻 💚 🤘

I was under the impression that the Atkins brand seals are Atkins brand... they charge you more on their website for the OEM ones....

Anyone have a good site they buy parts from. Side seals apex seals springs corner seals coolant seals etc…

Hi man first of all really enjoying your vids, learning sooooo much!, been wrenching on cars, mostly rotaries for over 30 years but have never taken the plunge into building my own motors yet. Just wanted to clarify, when measuring the seal gap on one end of the seal, do you push the seal back into the corner seal on the opposite end to ensure 0 tolerance? Cheers and keep up the great work😊
