I wish that rotary engines were reliable, with nothing else changing in the car industry
I said what I said
I might need a engine rebuild on some 25ish~ year old Mazda rx-7 my family friend has had sitting for a while, and I’m not sure I’m up to the task since that’s well outside my comfort zone mechanically.
I’ve heard it’s best to go to specialists for this engine because they’re quiet different than more traditional piston car engines.
It starts and “drives” surprisingly but it’s obviously in rough condition.
Please Rotary engine mod
RX8 will need a rebuild soon. I'm looking all over and I can't find anybody that still works with rotary engines nearby.
I'm looking for someone who is experienced or certified with working with rotary engines. Specifically a second gen Mazda RX-7 FC 13B.
If you know of someone or have this experience, please DM me.
Thanks!
Hi everyone, it’s Rob Dahm. You may know me from YouTube or my recent shenanigans with Hoonigan when I raced Ken Block for the first time ever in my 4 Rotor RX-7.
I’m here because on May 6, I’ll be in the Valvoline Engine Lab getting a behind-the-scenes look at how they test their oils against the four main causes of engine failure: heat, friction, wear, and deposits. I will literally have the geniuses behind the oil at my fingertips, and I want to give Redditors the opportunity to ask Valvoline anything.
So send me all your questions about motor oil and what goes into formulating oils at Valvoline. I’ll be signing on at 3 p.m. ET on May 6 to answer questions, so fire away.
4 p.m. Edit: You guys have a lot of questions! Gotta run back to the lab, but I'll sign on tomorrow to finish answering these. 👍
[EDIT] Check it out! We took u/RobDahm behind the scenes to where the magic happens at our dedicated engine lab. Watch Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, and Episode 4 now.

Hi all, I'm starting to post some various Stirling designs I've been mulling on. Here's my first entry on an engine design I'm dubbing the Rotary Quad Alpha. Let me know your feedback! Article here >> https://medium.com/@nexusomega/the-rotary-quad-alpha-a-new-spin-on-stirling-engines-a6c97ca88cea
I know the RX-7s can and an older Nissan Silvia. Probably the RX-8 as well. Is there anything else?
Anyone recomend any good educational channels / videos? I got my hands on an fb rx7 im really excited to get into it im just dumbfounded on where i should start. Also any good aftermarket part websites would be super appreciated :) (ik for this old of a car ebay is kinda the onmy way).
