13b videos only?!?! Dadgummit!

I've looked in a ton of places to try and find a video that takes you step by step towards removing and rebuilding a 12A rotary. But I only found two videos (atkins and one other), and they where both for the 13B. I'm sure they are similar, but I've never, ever even attempted to remove an engine let alone remove, rebuild, and replace it! But I've become so fond of my little 12A GSL that I wanna try it (plus the fact that places around Houston wanna charge 3500 to drop in a crate motor, and more for a rebuild!).

Anyone know a really good video on 12A's or a very good book with a ton of pictures (I tend to start coloring books with diagrams so they aren't for me ) Thanks everyone!

Contact Kevin at Rotary Ressurection if you want it rebuilt. I would think you could have it rebuild streetported and shipped back to you for under 2k.
He is in TN and does a good job. He has build several motors that are on the fourm.

Thanks guys. I'll look into Rotary Ressurection. I just really wanted to try and do it myself. Heck, even if I do go with Rotary Ressurection, I have to know how to remove and reinstall the engine! So I still need a book. I'll drop Drkilljoy a line and see what he suggests. Their aren't really that many people in the Houstonrx-7 club that have 1st gens, at least it seems like it because of so few posts in that section of their forum. I'll keep trying. Thanks again guys. Oh and just to see if I got this straight, if I have an engine street ported, I'll loose torque right?

Thanks again!
