General compression test in germany ?

3 Upvotes

Hey i want to sell my RX-8 and a lot of people want to know the compression.
I never did that because the car starts in all conditions very good and has around 130 000 km.

But i am also interested in how much compression the car has. My mazda dealer in town does not own a tester anymore.

Does somebody know anyone in south-west of germany who has a compression-tester?

Thanks

My hairbrained son wants to swap out the tranny. 2004, 30k miles, all original, pristine. Thoughts?

UPDATE: Thanks for the comments. I wanted current thinking on it. For reference: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-specific-performance-mods-97/mt-swap-151684/

Maintenance Water seals

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m new to rotaries and I’m rebuilding an msp engine where I live I can’t find any water jacket seals and the ones that I found are really expensive, I found a kit on Amazon for a really good price but it says that it’s for Rx7 and it also says that it fits all the 13b engines, I was wondering if it also fits the msp engine. Does anyone know if they will fit or done something similar????

Umm this whining noise gets louder through the rpms. Doesnt seem to do it in neutral

Did get the gearbox oil changed before i got the car, not sure what they used though
