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?

I plan on using the 89 intermediate and end housings if they measure out for
flatness and wear.  The 86 to 88 end housings lookde pitted.

If the pits are not too deep it can be lapped. If too deep for lapping
it can be blanchard ground, lapped and re nitride.

BTW Joe check your email program and make sure it sends plain text only.
