On a rotary forum I get on, there a guy that wants to trade a 808/rx3 2dr for my rx3 goon.. what do you guys think... I like the 2drs but I had a vision of both the rx3 & 510 goon posted up side by side.

Thanks for the info lockleaf.! I didn't even think about that. I recall following a build of an 808 goon that was a non-rotary wagon that he covered to an rx3 from Australia.

Apple vinegar worked?

Yes it cleaned the rust off down to the bear metal. I used a tooth brush to gently brush off the rust, then rinsed it off with water to get off the vinegar then shot wd40 to remove the water then shot some marvel mystery oil on it. You have to be very carful to not damage the small variable resister wire. On of the things on YouTube that actually worked. This was what it looked like when I took it out.

It sat for 4-5 days in it. Any rust on the metal just came off when brushed with a tooth brush or even a smaller one and I used a small 6 in ruler layed flat pushing across the surface to get on the inside area just gotta be carful about the variable resister don't want to break that wire. I stayed away from getting near that area.

Did you check your head?

also re torqued the head 

i forgot to mention that 

I got the torque spec from dave w and from dave at rebello

I also re adjusted valves cold because rebello does his cold not hot 

and that was the spec he gave me

Hmmm, I always adjust mine hot on all motors. Reasoning, the engine spends more time hot than cold when you're using it.

 

My old L18 tapped a little when cold, but was fine when hot.

rebello uses specs for cold because he said by the time you get to the last valve the metal is not as hot as it needs to be for hot settings

Would you have the cold setting values.

on my cam grind .007 mm both intake and exhaust 

rebello checks it between the lash pad and end of rocker arm not your typical between cam lobe and rocker
