New to rotaries!

[thetastelingers]

Just picked up an RX7 to drive on nice days and weekends.....little did I know it has a blown coolant seal. I even did a compression test and it was perfect.....d'oh!
Guess I will be pulling it and rebuilding soon.

What year is it?

If it is 86-88, you may find that the housing has actually failed (corrosion)

If it is an 89-91, you are probably only needing a seal

Anyway, Welcome to the club, sorry to hear about the bad seal

I drove my car for quite a while with a bad coolant seal by defeating the radiator cap. When the second one goes, it won't start anymore, then you really do have to rebuild it.

Welcome, let us know what you find out and how the rebuild is going
