3 Rotor RX-7 2nd Gen Turbo II Project
(Pictures of
the 20B JSPEC damaged parts.)
1/9/2005 - While knowing there was zero compression on the rear
rotor, we hoped for the best that damage was minimal to the 20B. We
ended up with a damaged rear rotor, a destroyed rear rotor housing that
is known as the "devil's claw", and a rear iron with enough
corrosion to cause the water jackets to chip away when being cleaned. We
have already received a replacement rotor, rotor housing, and rear iron
from a JSPEC RE 3rd Gen RX-7 engine.

(Apex seal
shattered and gave a nice Devil's Claw marking on the rotor housing.)

facing has claw marks all up the side of it.)

(It's hard
to see, but the marks are very deep. Unusable!)
