rebuild kit question
Ok you guys time for my rebuild,,, got a question
I was wondering if you guys can recommened a company that sells rebuild kits for a 85 12A... for a resonable amount of green I am going to use this car as a daily driver, I'm gonna try not to race it, So I am not looking for hard core racing components, Just get me on the road.... Also is reusing Side seals, Apex seals and corner seals recommened, and If I can reuse them what should I look for when choosing wether or not to reuse a part,, I will get new side seal,corner, and apex seal springs along with gaskets, front and rear main seals, basically everthing aside the apex, side and corner seals,, would this work out,, just trying to save a few bucks to get back on the road,,,,
OOOOh I am rebuilding due to rear main seal leak, but engine was running fine other than that
Thanks alot guys

Side seals are almost always still in spec, breaking them during removal is probably the biggest reason for replacement. Corner seals are cheap, replace them. Apex seals may be in spec, then it is a question of how long do want the engine to last, they are usually replaced. Don't forget the oil control o-rings, and replace all of the springs. I've been quite happy with the service I have recieved from Atkins.
