Coolant seals are less then a 100$ on ebay, that motor is easy to pull , I pull mine by myself, lift the car as high as u possible can, undo motor mounts and anything else attaching motor to body of car, unplug wires etc and drop the subframe in the front, 6 bolts and or nuts, the motor and trans will come down in the front
The pouring did cease after the Kseal process, but it still overheated. Definitely not centimeters wide, but you’re right that the Kseal didn’t do the job.
@@morm608 we didn’t rebuild it. The owner said he was planning on replacing it when we diagnosed it as coolant jacket failure. He said to try the K-seal as a last ditch attempt to keep it going. I’m not sure if he ever got around to replacement.
@@themotorlawcompany4673 thanks for the reply. After some investigation I've realized that rotatory engines use rubber only gaskets or seals in the rotors. In the case that there were any cracks or holes in that gasket, no sealant would have worked, as they only seal metal to metal contact. Maybe in your case there were several sources of leaking , but there's no way kseal (or any other similar sealant) would have sealed a leak in that rubber gasket.
O have same car but leak is coming from down I did use leak seal I’m still waiting for that I pour and start for 5 minutes come back pour coolant 50/50 and all coolant when out I let stay until next day I’ll see what happen any tips ?
Youre in unfamiliar territory for serious advice. Beat thing we can say is to start looking for a replacement engine. Cooling system issues on rx8s are catastrophic, more often than not. As mentioned in the video, liquid seal is a solution we strictly advise against, largely because it may compromise your ability to rebuild the engine you pour it in, and lastly because coolant jacket failures are generally the last nail in the coffin. I would recommend seeking a local experienced rotary mechanic and get their opinion after they inspect the car.
Don't go by that temp Guage it doesn't move past half way till it's too late

Is it really that simple? What kind of special tools are needed ?
Wow that's a massive leak biggest ever
Yo I need help with my rx8 could you do a diy on the rear seal they say I have a oil leak their
That was pouring coolant , probably by a centimeters wide crack, impossible to fix by any sealant.

@@themotorlawcompany4673 If you rebuilt the engine, how big was the crack?
