Looks like you can salvage those TES O-rings Dave.

Dave,  I have been looking for a mock up engine for a long time.  I
this engine for sale?   If so,  where are you located.    Jerry


The O-rings were stock Mazda.  I was ordering the TES ones to replace
these.  As far as a mock up engine, this is not really that bad off.
The only thing that is definitely unusable is the front side housing.
The middle and rear are probably usable.  Everything else is in pristine
condition as it only has about 2 hours on it.  I would consider selling
as is, or fixing it up and selling it as a whole rebuilt engine with
only 2 hours.  Or I could just keep it as a spare.

I just got home from the hangar where I was converting my back-up engine
for aircraft use (mazdatrix currently does not have any 4-port rear side
housings).  I spent the last 2 hours trying to get the #$%# pilot
bearing out of the e-shaft, and still only ended up scratching the
e-shaft.  I did what Tracy suggested, but still won't budge.

Any ideas?
