Rotary Engine Assembly Class of a Mazda 13B Rotary Engine torrent

While I am not the author of this series I thought it useful to share a new transcoded 16:9 version of the video.


ORIGINAL NOTE:

Engine class parts 1 through 9
I gave a rotary engine class to a small group of rx7 club members in the fall of 2005 at my Mom\\\'s farm in Spokane Washington U.S.A. It was very informal, but should be informative to those enthusiasts who might want to rebuild their own engine someday. We taped the class in hopes of making a film for those in attendance, but the main tape turned up empty and blank. Something had gone wrong with the camera. On 16 March 2007 I was able to recover the missing film from the tape, and was able to complete the movie. The movie basically shows us assembling an early 13b Mazda rotary engine and discussing various issues during the build.
About me: After I got hooked on my first rotary (a 72 rx2) around 1984 and finding out that it was too expensive for me to take it to someone else for engine repairs, I learned to do it my self. I sought advice from those whom I thought should know, but just got misinformation and inaccurate stories. Hence I am self taught, with no factory training. I have owned many old rotaries and even had my own car repair business \\\"Partly Mazda\\\" for a couple years. I was able to help out a friend with his car business, sponsor a race car with an experimental peripheral port motor, and still occasionally find time to help friends out with their motors.
Thanks to all who attended. Some came in from Idaho, and a group came all the way from Seattle (about 275 miles). Also, thanks to Mom for the home cooked meal.
