Apex seals went out and only running on one face. But I’m not sure where to buy some apex seals. Help

welcome to the board.

for engine parts, you can start by looking at Mazdatrix,and Atkins.

that said, you will need more than just apex seals, so it will probably make sense to pull the engine apart and see what you need before you commit to anything yet.

Yeah that was my plan anyway first time doing anything more than like a clutch. Thanks for the help

The first money should be on one of the engine rebuild videos that both Mazdarix and Atkins Rotary have for sale. I have the one from Atkins and it covers the tear down and reassembly of a 13B but it is still applicable to a 12A. I watch it every time I crack open an engine I hope to repair.

Changing Apex seals, even if that is all you need to do, requires the complete tear down of a Rotary engine. So a video is a great way to see what is involved with the entire process. It is important to know what you have to keep track of when you take a rotary apart. That way, once you have addressed the problem in the engine you can put the parts you are reuse back where you found them.
