If the engine had been mounted or run, then I would check for water/coolant in the rotor areas. The engine I purchased had just a little coolant spillage from dis assemblage. I took it apart within a week and found a bit of rust on the side housings. I had to send them off to get resurfaced and renitrided. Bob

Thank you guys for your insight!! I'll be picking up the engine in April and start work on it over the summer. Any recommendations as to what is of highest priority to address?

Dear Collective,
It is with great joy that I can finally say I am officially a rotary head as of this weekend. I've purchased a 20B along with PSRU, turbo, injectors, pumps and various other peripherals. I do have a question which came up during various back and forth communication/negotiations. It regards the water pump, there was talk of modifying the stock pump but the reasons, method of modification and long term results were a little hard for me to understand. Can someone from the group shed some light from your experience in this area.
Regards,
Luis Luciano
