Not a rotary part.

It's a special tool that inserts in the starter location to rotate
the engine backwards when the rotary gets carbon locked.

Thanks Bob.
How many people on here have experienced carbon lock?
I never have in over a million miles with seven different
engines.

Is a carbon locked engine worth anything? What needs to be replaced?

I don't have one, just curious. I am looking at wrecked/"junk" RX7s
and might need to know in the future.

The vast majority engines you find in junk yards are not carbon
locked but merely rusted internally and locked. Best to buy one
in a car that is running.
