good rebuild kits??

Hi!
My 79 12a is going to need a rebuild in the future, but I've never done one before. Does anyone know of any good rebuild kits for it? I've seen one at racingbeat that was like $1000 and one at atkins that was about 400. Are there others and why the price difference?
Thanks

There are different levels of rebuild, from just a gasket set and apex seals, to All hard seals gaskets, and berings for the rotors and whatnot. PM dan atkins (atkins rotary) and he will explain it.

MazdaTrix sells genuine soft seal gasket sets. For misc seals, Atkins has competative and even lower prices than MazdaTrix.

what do you reccomend for a 25 year old engine that hasn't been rebuilt yet. The whole shebang?

No. Just tear it down and meaure everything. Then determine what needs to be replaced. At the very least you'll end up saiving some money.
