OUCH!
That's some major damage from an apex seal failure...

Maybe its just the pics or fact that I haven't had morning coffee yet, but that looks like a 3mm engine?

I'm trying to figure out what I need to buy at this stage.. New Rotor and slot to 3mm seals.. New housing..

I'm assuming that I shouldn't reuse the apex seals on the old good rotor?

New oil and water seals, new banjo washers etc.

Just did the fuel filter as well.

I don't wanna go all out as money is the main issue but I don't want to cheap out on anything either

Any of the vendors have them, as does Mazda.
