note: this isn't my first set of housings from them either. used quite a few sets with similar results.

He built my 20b using all of his components and he reinforced and doweled the motor. I cant wait to have it up and running.

About 120psi, very nice. I would be interested to see what they do after 10k miles though. Is that a totally fresh engine not started or does it have some mileage on it?

TitaniumTT.. I will be doing a mileage writeup on their seals once my build is up and running.

Looking forward to seeing the results

yes,I agree . however, I have used quite a few of these housings in motor builds in the last couple years.no issues. similar compression results.cant see anything that can really go wrong. just removing a little material. plenty of apex height .after all, whens the last time we saw an apex seal wear down as to not make contact with the housing ? they break before then (oem ones at least).in any event, I have been quite happy with the housing service. saved several of my core housings.

fresh engine . basically it was a previous mazda reman with unknown mileage. had a blown apex seal. everything else was in nice shape.

RX-7FD3S · 04-12-2012, 08:45 PM

Rumor has it they are still holding solid compression after 5,000 miles

Looks good, how's the pricing on these compared to new OEM housings?

Fendamonky · 04-15-2012, 06:39 PM

^ Hey, newblet... Did you bother reading that first post in the link I put up? Or did you just say "looks good" and move on? lol

(Hint: That very first post lists current price

)

Essentially they use a high speed buffer wheel to remove defects, seems like this could be done by other machine shops.
