Iam about to undergo a rebuild on a 87 turbo im probably gonna pic up the atkins video. was just wondering what i need to do.
1. do i need to have it rebuilt like i would with a piston motor or how do i know if i do. so far i know that it has almost no compression. how do i know if i can just buy a rebuild kit or if i need a new motor?
2. i was also thinking about getting it ported. if i do is it going to run ok with just intake/exhaust and street porting or will i need to do anything else?
3. are there any special tools ill need for taking apart/putting a rotary back together?
i have done many piston motors just not rotary and i have been looking through the forums before asking just havent had my questing answered completely. thanks in advance for replies.
