Rebuild soon... Which kit?

Rebuild soon... Which kit?
Well guys, here's the scenario... I recently noticed a little bit of coolant leaking externally between the front iron and rotor housing just above the omp. Sooo, I'm thinking rebuild time. This should also give me a good chance to do a little porting so I'm -retty excited about it..lol. My question here is that the car still runs great, great compression etc. So I'm wondering if I could get by with just a gasket kit from Atkins? Or should I pick up a rotor kit also? This will be my first solo rebuild, so I'm not sure if I can reuse the apex seals etc. Thanks in advance for any info.

Open her up
clean up, inspect, measure
then, replace as needed
Buy whatever you need, after opening her up
These engines (quoting Forrest) are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you´ll find
I opened mine and found out the apex seal groove to be expanded as hell, and the housings were trashed.

that's what i was hoping you guys wouldn't say..lol. Just spent an @$$ load of money doing my suspension... so a $900 rebuild kit is un-obtainable for a couple months. was hoping I could squeak by with the cheap-o kit. But I guess it wouldn't be so smart to skimp in this department.... DAMMIT!

Carma, dude, carma. At least I dont' have to buy a whole new rebuild kit to do my old engine, I can use the seals from the boat anchor you ripped me off for.

Sooo, just to clarify....
Don't thread jack!!
Don't try to run my name through the mud!!
And KARMA is spelled with a K......*******!
So why don't you "raise anchor" and move on??

Hmm, so lying about everything on the engine is okay then? Ceramic seals? New rotor housings? Done up by a well known shop? Where's the ******* proof?
-Apexes were OEM steel.
-Housings were FAR from new, the chrome was flaking off on the compression side.
-You never sent me the paper work on the engine either.
-The ports weren't even matched, they were all different sizes between the irons, so were the exhaust ports.
-Even the apex seal grooves in the rotors were out of spec, it looked like someone took an angle grinder down the grooves.
Whatever dude,

Good stuff...I'd say pull the motor, get a ceramic apex seal kit and then give it to Box_Man or find another forum to screw members on......just what we need, another Protodermis/PREACHER....
