 Paul,

 I just ordered the 89 rotor housing so when it gets here I will send them
 plus the sealing plates for P Porting. Â How many housings do you have so
 far?

 We have six. Yours will be eight and somebody said they would send three
 more.

 I got to figure out how to take it apart. Then I will send mine.

 I assume you have the shop manuals. One mistake frequently made is to take the flywheel
 off first. The screw holding the pulley on the front of the engine should be removed
 first. The flywheel must be immobilized to get the screw off the frontof the e-shaft.
 I at first tried an angle iron and bent it. I then got a 3 inch channel six foot long.

 The right tools are important. You will need a 2-1/8" 54 mm socket andyou will need a
 3/4 inch breaker bar with a 6 foot extension or a good 3/4 drive impact wrench. Harbor
 freight is a good source as you won't be using these things that often. You will also
 need a 5 pound sledge hammer minimum. Assuming of course you have a manual transmission
 engine.

 If not a manual you will need a special gear puller than can be made or bought from
 Mears Motors. Once you get the screw off the front and the flywheel orcounter weight
 off the e-shaft the rest is trivial and can be done in less than 5 minutes.

 It will take a day to clean the rotors each so I would farm them out to an automotive
 machine shop and get a quote ahead of time because they don't know what they are getting
 into :)

We may have enough all at once to do 11 or 13.
On Friday I'll set a dead line of one week later to collect the stragglers :) Get those rotor housings in folks. It will be quite some time before we do another batch.
