Cost Effective Solution for these Economic Times ...
Goopy Performance ROTOR HOUSING REFURBISHING Services
10-15% of the Cost of Replacement!
Updated Pricing
In today's economy everyone is looking for cost effective solutions and
the best way to get maximum performance for their dollar spent. That
was Goopy
Performance's thinking and objective behind our ROTOR HOUSING
REFURBISHING
service.
When any of us consider rebuilding a rotary engine, the condition of the
housings is a key factor. Up until now the options have been either
1.) use your housings as is, or 2.) buy new housings at the cost of
approximately $1,300 per pair or more. If porting had already been
done on
these housings, the real cost of replacement could include an additional
$200 to $400.
Goopy Performance's Refurbishing process provides a solution at
approximately 10% to 15% of
the cost of replacement. While not providing a 100% new surface for
your apex seals to break into
a "like new" surface in the very high 90 percentile (95-99%) is
provided in most cases.
Here is an attempt to answer most of the questions that have been
posted on various forums recently ...
1. We are NOT resurfacing or adding new material to the housings. We are
refurbishing or refreshing the existing hard chrome surface.
2. NO we do not have data or photos showing results after 20,000 miles.
However, we have had very high HP racers running our refurbished
housings
with our Goopy Performance Apex Seals for a full race season (40-50+
passes) while maintaining very high compression and no housing damage
of any kind.
3. NEW PRICING INFORMATION
As of November 1, 2011 (11-1-11) the standard PRICING is $300 US per
pair of housings
with the customer paying for the shipping to and from Goopy Performance.
This price includes media blasting of the housings to achieve the
"like new" appearance
as seen in Judge Ito's photos.
Please do not send dirty, greasy housings or there will be an
additional $25 “Cleaning Fee”.
4. $200 US per pair PRICING ...
will be honored when a minimum purchase of one set of
Goopy Performance Apex Seals
accompanies the order for EACH PAIR OF HOUSINGS that are to be
refurbished.
You will also have the option to order other Goopy Performance parts
or kits valued at $350 US or more.
5. Our refurbishing process greatly improves all of the conditions
mentioned in various different posts ... scratches, scoring, gauling and
flaking edges. Our process provides a relatively flat, uniform, matte
housing surface for your new seals to break-in to. The true measure
of the
effectiveness of the process is the compression numbers that are
achieved
when your engine is rebuilt, not just how the housings look. Our
experience with our refurbishing along with using our Goopy Performance
Apex Seals is that we have consistently produced compression readings at
or above factory stock specifications. Also refer to Judge Ito’s
experience after 3 years of having compression numbers of 125-128 psi.
6. The SIDE PIECE on the Goopy Performance Apex Seals does not come to
such a sharp point at the housing surface like if does on many other
apex
seal designs. We believe this design improvement yields less wear and
deterioration at the housing edges that cause potential compression
leakage.
7. In most cases the amount of material removed to achieve these “like
new” results is relatively insignificant. In our experience,
utilizing our
Goopy Performance Apex Seals which are manufactured at the same
height as
OEM seals, we have not experienced any issues due to the removal of this
minimal amount of material.
8. If you are unsure if your housings are candidates for our
refurbishing
process please send photos and description to
info@goopyperformance.com
before expending your time and resources on packing and shipping.
However, if we receive housings that we consider to be beyond repair
with
our process, we will notify you before any work is done.
9. We provide our housing refurbishing service on all models and
vintages of rotor
housings.
Please email to
info@goopyperformance.com if we have not addressed
all of
your earlier questions or new ones have come up in the meantime.
