    Update: I installed the outter coolant jacket seal Wrong, so I have to go back into the engine. While we are I there, we are swapping out the Atkins apex seals for E&J seals, replacing the coolant jacket seals and swapping the solid corner seals for oem 2mm mazda ones 🫡
    Live and learn, we will fix it and keep going 🫡

      Get OEM coolant jackets and not Atkins, also make sure your using OEM apex seal springs. I had bad experience with E and J check my rx7club posts. They prematurely wore extremely fast i still have them on my table

    Got some bad news, the outer water seals are installed wrong. They are rectangular in cross section and the white sides should be on the sides when installed, not on the top and bottom. Look on page C-64 of the RX-7 service manual. Also, I think you are used to piston engines, you can keep a rotary engine on the stand bolted to the front iron for the entire build process. This lets you access the clutch and flywheel and install all that easily on the stand. I try and put EVERYTHING together on the stand, you can get about 90% on the stand and that minimizes time you are leaning over trying to do things in the car. For the front cover gasket use the Cosmo metal gasket, Atkins has them in stock, you just toss it on and bolt the front cover, NO oring needed, way better design than the stock paper gasket. Good luck with the project!

    Yeah, first few oil control rings ya do, ya can almost expect to get some fingertip lacerations (they can be pretty sharp). I found a badass tool for them tho. It's like a hammer made of ultra tight rolled leather. Lubed up enough and with right temp differential, goes on pretty quick. Otherwise it's kinda down to finger placement on the ring to kinda give it a roll around.

    That hylomar is a great sealant that can be used in place of rtv/silicone in places you may worry about the rtv having excessive squeeze out and plugging things, like the oil pumps or even avcs ports. It's super high tack yet "non setting"

    I know this is old and you have disassembled the engine again, but you talk about sealant on the outer edge of the iron at 7:57 in the video, but when you first drop the housing on at like 9:06 in the video I don't see any sealant. Hopefully you caught that on the next rebuild when you changed all the seals? Great video BTW and one day hope to rebuild my rotary which will likely be soon since I'm at 87k original miles on my 94' FD.

      I've heard some bad stories about their shop Angel Motorsports here and there, but it sounds like it's mostly related to John? Mike seems to be the better one out of the two. I dunno, I'm not gonna pass judgement since I've never dealt with them.
      Either way, I'm sure there's somewhere in the area that specializes in rotaries. Worst case scenario, there's people in Cali.
      Oh, I just remembered there's Jack at HP Logic in Florida. He's got two FDs iirc, a black 2 rotor is it an RZ or R1? Some rare spec (not Bathurst or Spirit R) and a yellow 3 rotor track car. He does remote tuning for pretty much everything, Cobb, Haltech, Link, Ecutek, etc.

    Subaru to rx7? Dude, you just can't work on a "normal engine" can you? haha Such a rad car! That's funny, I just got a Mazda as well. I'm taking a break from my bugeye as well, traded the right hand drive CRS for a 94 MX5 m edition and some cash. Still building my other CRX, but I'm rocking the mx5 during summer, taking advantage of working AC! Autocross, and maybe some drifting. Keep up the good work bro!
