Intro and assembled pics

I bought this Renesis engine from a local owner here in Ottawa.  The car was turbo'd for much of its life.  Prior to being removed from the car, the engine was still running but not well.  Dealership diagnosis was low compression on the rear rotor.


I got this for the express purpose of dissassembling it to learn as much as I can.  I don't know what awaits - hopefully some of the parts are salvageable but I'm not counting on it.

Here are some pics of the engine "as received".  You can see a lot of the stuff has already been taken off before I picked up the engine.
