Stoked I took this apart, and Stoked ya'll get to learn from my mistakes. Such a small cause can lead to a drastic affect on the performance of the engine after a rebuild! Join us on Patreon! / radpotential
Your a stand up guy. Most people out there would have left it alone if they knew it was going to cost them money to fix the issue. Thanks for all the videos. Keep it Rad.
Excellent video. I say your explanation is 100% plausible. As someone who has been working on cars for many years, the best way to learn and keep yourself humble is to admit you screwed up. Nobody likes to keep saying “I screwed up”, so it makes you be sure you are doing the work correctly.
I'm sorry this one gave you trouble, but thanks for sharing what you learned. I especially appreciate the tip from the troubleshooting video about using a torque wrench to check that the engine spins easily enough.
I love your videos man you really helped me out a lot when I was rebuilding my 12a thank you for doing what you do I see your passion and don’t ever stop being the stand up guy you are I hope nothing but the best for you and your future endeavors
I agree with you about the housing pulling the corner seal out of place. Put it back together without taking it apart any further. Of course ck out how freely it turns over.
Hey been these engine for years the apex seal tip will lock onto the rotar housing edge if the stack is tightened in one go ,you need to rotate and tighten the assembly to settle the tips in steps until your final torque of 28-35 ft/lbs. This more so in mazda or some of the unbreakable seals that have a fine tip.
@@RADPotential I haven't built a rotary engine but was wondering this also. What are the risks or disadvantages of using superglue to stick the apex seal pieces together?
Hey man! Where do you balance your rotors/eshaft? I'm also in Indiana and Banzai-Racing will only do it if I pay to have my engine built by them as well :/
I've thought about doing a 20b na in my fc but another channel told me since it's a se model the transmission and rear end won't handle it so it's on a back burner for now
An NA 20B isn't going to make much more than 350 wheel. Stock diff and trans shouldn't be that bad. If your just street driving and doing pulls it's will be fine
@@RADPotential cool. Its good when you can do completely different stuff day and night. Much love from new Zealand. I own two rotaries an fd and a corolla with a full cut 13bbp. Keep up the cool content
