I am thinking of setting up a system where
we bore the holes and weld in the SS tubes for you.

We need to do ten at a time to reduce the set up cost.

If people send me their rotor housings
I will save them until we have ten or more and then have the
work done. You will need to label your rotor housings
with your name and address and the date before you send
them to me.

In the meantime I will publish the number I have accumulated in hand
so people will get an idea when theirs will be shipped back
to them. You pay shipping cost to and from. If six months
goes by and we don't have ten I'll ship your rotor housings
back to you if you wish.

You use a die grinder or small drum sander to finish the weld
to your satisfaction.

What do you all think?

  Do you have an idea how much it will cost and does it will include the
aluminum facing square

  No the user will need to get the block and fit them to the engine before
  he sends it to us for boring. As I said my guess is about $150 each or
somewhat less.
  I'll know in a couple of days after I talk with my bud.

Paul,

I would like to build a 2nd gen P Port as I have 2 engines an 86 and a 89.
I am not sure what to do for rotor housings.  Do I buy new ones from
Madatrix or do you have a source for suitable rotor housings.  I have
aready
bored and JB welded 2" tubes into the 86 housings just to see if I could
do
it.  Flight engine is a different story.  I am not sure what qualifies as
a
usable P Port housing for aircraft use.  I have a slide throttle. Thanks
for
any input

If your rotor housings are OK send them along. Take some pictures
so people can judge the reltative condition.

Paul,

I have yet to disassemble the 89 and do not know the condition of the rotor
housings,  I believe both of these motors lost compression and I am afraid
of seeing a trashed housing.  After I finish all of this painting I will
disassemble and photograp the housings.  Is there a preferable way to store
the irons so ther is no warpage?  The 89 has the high compresion rotors.
Thanks for any help.

The iron won't warp. Any residual stresses are long gone.
