How much for parts to rebuild motor?

approximitaley how much just for parts does it cost?And is it easier or harder than rebuilding a 4 cylinder?, would me and a couple friends(who are mechanics) be able to perform this task in a weekend?

Also, what companies sell the non-flip up headlight kit?

Do you need a mininum rebuild kit? I've seen an engine go together for as little as just the o-ring kit(but we had extra parts laying around). Do you need everything? I have part numbers for what you need.

from what i've read here, and not personal experience,

rebuilding a rotary is easier than that of a piston motor. because a piston motor has more clearance issues, and you normally need to bore/hone the cylinder walls more.

On a rotary, if the rotors and housings are still useable, u can resuse them, and then just change all the seals, put it back together.

Do a search on "removing motor with tranny" there is a great write up there.

Yep, the first time you do it...take your time. The second time will go in NO time. An engine pull by yourself, with the car on the ground with jackstands, and an engine hoise...it'll take you about 2 to 3 hours(depending on how much you smoke and how profecient you are with tools). Not hard at all
