Thumbs up

Ok I bought a blown TII engine

I opened it up

1 housing was damaged



the other was good

and the rotors have no damage

except all the seals have collapsed i.e there all the way in on the grooves



I cleaned the rotors(big time "dry" crode all over)

got 1 apex seal loose

and used that with a small hammer

to push the others off

had to use a flat screwdriver to push the corner seals to the side

and then use the apex seal and hammer to get them off



Now the side seals!

How the hell do I those off?



do I need a jewlers flat screw driver of something

or should I soke them in engine cleaning ACID?

soak them overnight in Varsol or simple green. Either one will loosen the carbon.
