Everyone,

I am trying to build up a motor from two.  One is an 89 that ate an apex seal and took out the front rotor and rotor housing.  The second motor is a 86 to 88 with rotor housings that look worn and I practiced P Porting on them.  My question is that I will get another 89 rotor housing use the 86 to 88 rotors and Eshaft, front counter weight what flex plate and counterweight will be required?  Do the 89 to 91 automatics have a different counterweight than the 86 to 89s?  Thanks for any help.

I think the main problem with end housings previous to 1989 was no heat treating
on the wear surface. My guess is they would last for 500 hours or so. Just a wild
ass guess. You can however send them out and get them re nitride. Relative to the
cost of new end housings it is cheaper. Bruce Turrentine may know of a place
in North Carolina that can do that. I think you are at Langley.


Does anybody have Bruce's email address?
