Mazda rotary. The 13B is the larger of the 2 common ones (the other being the 12A).

Hiya Bloo,

 

I'm attempting to help a 1985 Rx7 owner get his rocket back on the road. He knows little of mechanics and I know little of these rotaries and thus I cannot rebuild for him.

 

He was on the way to becoming a FLAACA member when he blew his 13B. Helping him has really been trying my patience since he wants to not help his own situation.

 

Need access to short block 13B.

Hi Curti-

 

The 13B engine is rotary engine supplied to antique 1980's era Madza RX7 2 seater sports cars. Which is a precursor to the issuance Miata sports car. It has no pistons, is very compact and utilizes carburetor in the early issues and FI in the later.

 

Altho I rebuild 4 cyl conventional engines (with pistons) I am clueless about these rotaries but love challenges and mysteries so I threw myself into helping this good person.

 

Thanks for inquiring about the New Era of antiques which are already winning AACA recognition and class trophies.

 

BTW I drive Toyota's only supercharged sports car ever imported to America.

 

Best regards,
