Are the rotor housings the same for the 86-90 13B Non turbo? Have 2 "parts engines" wondered what could be interchanged. Thanks T Weaver "In off season mode" :D:eclipsee_steering:

Here's a good rotor housing identification chart.

They are interchangeable.
The S4 (86-88) and S5 (89-92) have the spark plugs located in different places. That's not indicated in the link above. Though I've never heard a good explanation on the reason for the change or if one is better than the other, it would be wise to not mix the two.
Thanks for Info. Have to get the magnifer out and take a look. One has the insert loose in the housing?? Damn heavy to roll around on garage floor. Anyboby come up with a cradle/stand to set engine on? T Weaver
There is a stand in the back of your garage....and they call me arrive and drive :lol:

Pineapple, Mazdatrix, and others sell an adapter plate for use with a traditional engine stand for the rotary. I've made my own from steel plate. All the adapters I have seen mount the engine front the AC/PS bracket studs on the front iron.
