Where to buy engine rebuilt kit? And what's involved?
I've got a broken spark plug and easy out stuck in the front rotor. I've pulled the engine out of the car and I am now planning on disassembling the engine and rebuilding it.
Mazdatrix has a complete gasket set for $132.53. They also have steel apex seals for $49.98.
Mazdaspeed has the apex seals for $34.60 Is there a difference? I couldn't find a gasket set on Mazaspeed but they must have one.
What/where are other places to buy from?
I'm also planning on doing the Rat's Nest removal. Is there anything else that is a "must" while I have the engine out? I want to turn the car into an IT-7 but I just don't have the money for it right now. I do know that I don't want to bother with porting.

I got my rebuild kit from Atkins. RotaryAviation also has kits Both places sell a rebuild video...I used the one from RotaryAviation and found it to be excellent. I've heard nothing but good thinks about the Atkins video as well. I highly recommend getting one of these videos...very useful.

the engines are identical in function and parts. rebuilding a 12a or a 13b is the same thing, at least on a first gen. thats why you dont see 12a specific rebuild videos, there is no need.

Just curious as to why you have no interest in porting the motor while you have it apart. From what I understand, it is a simple process that yields huge gains.

There is also a guy I work with that has a 1st gen in IT-7 so I may some day get brave enough to do everything legal like and go racing with him.
