what is the cheepest rebuild kit??
i was wondering who has the cheepest rebuild kit?? i saw the rebuild kit on mazdatrix and that was a hell of alot. besides why would it be so expensive to rebuild a rotory it has less parts in it im going to rebuilf my 93 jimmy and its gonna cost $140 for the whole kit and if i want new pistions it would be $350. when i rebuild an rx-7 i would like to put 3mm apex seals on it so does anyone know where you can get the a rebuild kit with3mm apex seals??

yeah you'll have to mill the rotors for 3mm, and that's about $150 a rotor. for just the gaskets try www.atkinsrotary.com it'll be about $1k for a good kit. good luck, and if you wanted cheap, get a tempo.

i think i may get the O-ring kit for $153 and the 13b rotary installation gasket kit for $45.25 and buy the 3mm apex seals somewhere else. so where can i get some cheep 3mm apex seals?
also what type of material is the best when running it on a street ported dayly driver?

im pretty sure carbon seals are the soft seals that shatter into little soft non-abrasive pieces that dont damage your housings as much or at all compared to stock mazda seals. However i also belive they break much easier

eraumazda im going to go with 3mm because they hold up better under more stress. i like your responses huh?, mazda apex seals, why. crackheadme yea i think thats the diff really i think carbon seals seal better and dont wear the housing as much but break easer so dont last as long.
