Problems With 13b REW Fresh Rebuild Explained - Happy I took this apart!

[@juanmelissagarcia5981]

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.

[@VictorMPR]

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.

[@rmreid83]

After watching the concern you had I’m glad to see this video today. I was actually feeling anxious about it myself. You did it right!

[@scotty305]

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.

[@joedelavega1722]

You are a stand up person thumbs up 👍👍!! Sometimes I glue the apex corners, didn’t realize it can happen with super seals also, even with Mazda springs!!

[@billyverduzco2337]

This is great work man! Thank you for your honesty

[@lindkvistandreas]

Thank you for sharing, and you have a really nice attitude towards the learning process!

[@stephenhoffelt3259]

Great series of videos on this engine. Thank you for showing the hiccups along with everything else. Good on you.

[@GTFour]

This was fantastic to watch for us leer ing, thank you so much for showing

[@BlancoGC]

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

[@raymondcascella4920]

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.

[@jim5alive]

Inspirational for taking on an RX build.

[@marcswanson7066]

Thanks for sharing your considerable knowledge.

[@MyEsmeril]

Great informational and learning video keep up the great teaching 👍 am more confident about building my first own eng thanks to ur videos .

[@stephenjagroop7230]

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.

Loving your channel I'm rebuilding my 13brew out of my FD. This stuff is super helpful.

Man…what an awesome watch!

[@aristotlezografos8668]

great vid my man. thanks for doing ur thing

[@dervintaveras2924]

Yes sir Thank you

[@pj3635]

It’s actually best to show this stuff. Good for trouble shooting for the diy builder

[@RADPotential]

Yes sir!!! Anyone can build one of these!

Best KZbin channel ! Lots of love from hamilton ontario

[@skygonzo9813]

Best laid plans ... bummer man glad it's recoverable

[@MrBusaPhil]

Surely spinning the motor that amount of time with no oil circulating could possibly damaged the Bearings or Seals?

[@drkrobe1302]

what is your option of supergluing the corner piece of the apex seal

[@brapgarage]

How do you feel about using the super glue trick for apex seals during installation? I hear people on both sides of it.

[@RADPotential]

Typically I'd only do that for a bridgported build. But that would have prevented this issue

[@scotty305]

@@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?

[@jasonplunkett2513]

When fitting apex seals i glue apex seal to corner piece or u use the assist piece and this will not happen..hope it helps .love ya channel

[@marvincardona2350]

What state your in

[@jakeoncrack]

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 :/

[@RADPotential]

You could have chips motor sports or defined autoworks do it. Defined is up in ohio

[@rmreid83]

At what point do you have to balance your pieces? If you are using all the same rotors, flywheel, e shaft, etc…..do you need to? Thanks!

[@henrytomai6169]

Is it possible to press in the oil control rings into the rotors prior to assembly?

[@RADPotential]

Yes you would do that for sure. I'd build the rotors on the work bench. And then install them into the engine

[@henrytomai6169]

@@RADPotential Thank you. Learning a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work.

Where did you get that Rotary Engine Quick Tips poster?

[@RADPotential]

I made it and printed it myself

Hey you ever thought of doing a 20b na build?

[@RADPotential]

Eventually I want to build one for my first gen

[@KenBober]

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

[@RADPotential]

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

[@KenBober]

@@RADPotential sweet thanks, I don't race anymore so it's all cruising.
