Mazda RX3 Engine Rebuild

1972 Mazda RX3 10A Rotary Wankel Engine starting for the first time after I did a full engine rebuild which included:- Rotor tips, side seals, corner seals, oil control rings, rubber oil control ring seals, both rotor housings and oil pump plus all springs. This is how it started after all of that. Not bad huh?

My engine is a 10A. The RX3 had a 10A engine fitted here in the UK!! In other areas of the world it was fitted with a 12A so if you want to keep original then fit only a 10A or 12A engine.....

Word of warning NEVER run a rotary engine without any water in the cooling system or rev it hard when it is cold!!!!

Fantastic advanced engine - primitive car

Congradulations!

I suppose getting the seals right is critical.

Nice job, I could just smell the grease and oil.
