Thumbs up I´m calling today, wish me luck!

I will get the seven anyways, I want one soooo bad...

anyways.

a rebuild seems inevitable

Atkins sells the gasket kit, but I dunno what comes in it.

This car might need new coolant o-ring seal OR side seals (lets hope not both)

Apex seals and side seals (I heard) are expensive for my budget. Any way to get used ones in good condition?

Any input/advice would be great, but remember, Im in Argentina, no parts store to get OEM rotary products and the currency on this country sucks, so everything you have to get from the states is VERY expensive.
Thanks guys!

You could reuse yours if they are in good condition, or get a set of used one off ebay, but its highly recommended that you just replace them with new ones. It will pay off in the end because your engine will last much longer with new side seals and apex seals.

I don't know what your money situation is, but if you're going to go through the trouble of taking the engine apart don't half *** the rebuild. If you have to wait a few months to save up the money for the full rebuild kit then do so. Don't waste your time replacing only one thing.
