I would hate to see the rebuild bill if you chuck a seal...

Nice car though!

Thanks for your compliment.
It would be very nice to get a rebuild bill................That would mean its actually possible to rebuild it.
Apex seal's are same as 10a engine but obviously side seals are a problem.

I ment it as if one of your apex's decided to leave the rotor but stay in the housing. Imagine a maraca... My last engine did that.

I would rebuild her every 50k out of paranoia...

I purchased it landed in Auckland. I have had various offer's worldwide, the best so far is NZ$44,700, however because it's in extremely good original condition I would expect its value to be a bit more than that.
I dont believe the very small NZ market realises its true value so its going off shore when the time comes.
