Mazda Rotary - 13B Bridgeport Engine....Budget Home Build

Kind of days to sleep in when that Hello, good morning everyone, it's been a while since we've seen each other, Dougie, here again. I haven't made a video in a while so I thought it was about time I got up and made one, so today. let's

build

oscar oh hi rumble I'm always going to rumble he's going to help just I'm going to help of course um so this time I'm going to

build

another little

engine

uh for the three level three and over here that little sucker um currently the 333 sounds like this foreign so it's just running a slim mb touring port uh stock port stock exhaust ports and um today I just want to put together a little 13b

engine

sub bridge port uh just to give the car that spinning idle for that spinning pulse , so the reason for the secondary bridge is that I just want it to be a um still uh just a cruiser and um not a pig to drive and we'll stick with the original steering wheel and stuff too, so the engines here are not the ones. better engines so some of the parts are a little tired but it should definitely last another period so I'm actually really ready for it to have it. giant giant tub of um Vaseline here so look at this puppy look at my engine assembly lubricant so this tub of Vaseline is ridiculous um that was Kirk Chemtech curiosity thanks for that buddy and so you guys know how It looks like a normal tub.

I'm pretty sure this will last me a lifetime. I'm considering I don't build engines that often, but yeah, good, awesome stuff, I don't know how much it weighs, but it's a little underrated here, yeah. It's quite heavy, so I have my cup of tea, so my cup of tea, you know? really, really in there and um and yeah, this is the engine here, basically, secondary bridge, um, forward and backward. plates and then a stage two or extend the center of the port, so when I say the pieces are a little bit tied together, so they've been skimmed and then locked, you can see there's a little bit of pitting there on the exhaust stroke , which is fine the same on the center plate here as well, the other side of this also has a little bit of padding and stains, but you know, it's flat, it's good.

I have one of the old school regulators here that I basically just shimmed up and tested. and it's making about 100 psi which will help a little bit and we've also done some oil mods on the plates so we just milled all the oil galleries just at 10 mil just to clean them up basically because I know they're kind of stepped and rough inside, so everything was done a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, and the road is here, so RX4 rotors. Yes, a kind of original pesos. Both are marine weight rotors. I've already done it. I put in the side seals and the corn seals so these side seals and corner seals are all second hand so I went through all my old side seals and found the best ones and then I changed them out and tried to get the best clearances um. and yes, and Bob is your uncle, however, we have put new side seal springs on some new corner seal springs.

The bearings are second hand, they are good, we will simply reuse them. Same with the bearings in stationary gears too. I'm just going to use them and they're all good and these are the housings here so again these housings have microphones so they don't shrink or anything like that, they don't warp, but they have a little bit of chrome shell on them so just on the escape race. you can see there's a little bit of shell there, a little bit of shell and chips, but the rest is pretty good, I think there's a little bit on the top, but within spec, and then this case is also very similar, so you have to peel off the exhaust race a little bit there and set it there, but the rest is fine, so the actual chrome is pretty decent, there's no kind of scoring, it's pretty flat, which is cool, you know, like that Yes, they should actually be fine, I think. when we have a quote, oh, these are all the um, so, front and rear o-rings and seals, daddy washes, etc., trying to cover the gasket and its three bolts, the front stack counterweight, the oil pump Second-hand high volume, which is in good condition, no. warm i'm not too sure about this oil pump chain i have a new one but wait until it starts up see when it's on i could replace it but yeah that's it and i guess here what else do we have , we have the crank, the cranks, it's an rx45.

Put a little bit of marks and stuff on it, but it's very straight, which is good, good second and all the control housings, and we have new new oil control springs and all the new control O-rings that go to the engine, so yeah, like that. that's it and um new power seals so the new south coast rotating power seals go to the engine and with some new apexes or springs the main reason I'm using new apex seals is because actually I don't have some decent second hand ones other than the carbon ones and these shells really aren't and no no you want absolutely new shells to run on carbon so I'll save the carbons for my full ports and stuff so we decided to go with for some new new apex seals and new springs in there so yeah that's it oh hi rumble sleeping on the job yeah good boy so yeah that's it um we'll get stuck into that , so yeah, let's get it, so ah, do it.

Yeah, yeah, foreign stuff, okay, so it's the short block pretty much done and done, so obviously we still need to do the front stack and the rear counterweight and all that kind of stuff, but we'll continue with the video as we get around to it. do that, so I hope everything went well. Oh, the din was no help this time. Hey, zero help. Without hope. Lack of help in action, friend, downtime.
