Rebuilding a 12A Rotary Engine

This is a quick rundown on how one would go about rebuilding a Mazda rotary engine. This particular engine is a 12A from a S3 RX7 after the front rotor lost compression due to chrome peel and a cracked apex seal. This engine is rebuilt with near new housings and all new seals etc. No fancy tools here, this was completed at home with basic tools commonplace in most workshops. The parts needed for this particular engine were sourced from Atkins Rotary.

I don’t even own one of these yet, but this video is so good. Wow these engines are incredible.

Very nice video. Makes me wish I didn't spend the $25 on the atkins rebuild video last month. What's the difference between hylomar and the other gasket stuff? I only had enough money for the hylomar lol

thing with rotaries...if you only have a little money,they arent a great option

[@user-yk5it3rv4r]

How can figure out which is front and back

[@ruffraff4697]

I rebuild Volvo Penta engines also the P1,p2 engines would this be difficult to build I don't see alot of parts?

[@ehpunka]

which car is this tall port from?

[@peteragurkis3590]

That looks like a new rotor housing there, where did you find one? Things are NLA everywhere I look

[@Rautz.]

I've seen a couple NOS housings pop up on Facebook from time to time. - paying an arm and a leg for 12a stuff though.
There's also Riggs rotary in Canada who sources alot of parts and resells them

@@peteragurkis3590 I got like 10 12a housings I started stacking 12a parts in like 2005 I knew sooner or later they’ll start asking crazy prices and I run 12as idk I just love them. U can also have 13b housings grinder down to 12a spec.
