13BT Rebuilt.
These are some pictures I took of 88turboii's new engine (aka: his "spare") before installment.
I believe he has some info on this car in his "88 T2 money pit" thread.

While I was there, we decided to tear the old engine down, see if we could find what was causing the coolant loss.
Thats me in the pictures. Fairly close look at a housing. It didn't seem too bad. Every thing came apart nice, except the front of the engine, it did not want to come apart. The comp. seals and springs all came out nice, except one side seal broke, not sure if it broke during the struggle to get the front end apart or what. The oil control rings put up a fight. The rotor housings are questionable. Ill see if I can get better pictures of the housings. It was an RA seals engine. This makes my 4th rotary teardown.
