Apex Seal Carnage (WTB Rotor and Housing)





It looks like my junkyard-find FC was parked for a reason. One apex seal popped out, whirled around a bit, then the next Dorito tip came along and was like "I got you bro". It caught the loose seal and promptly smooshed it into the housing wall and took a nice big chunk with it, breaking the good seal and crimping it into the groove. Damn 3 piece seals. I was wondering why I had no compression on the rear rotor. The rest of the engine is still in good shape and all I need is a rotor and housing. The rest of the car is pretty good too, so I'm gonna go ahead and resurrect her. What do you guys think the best option is here? I definitely plan to do the rebuild and street port it myself, I'll probably use all Atkins hard seals and gaskets, so all I need to source is a used Dorito and housing, Any and all leads/recommendations are appreciated.
TL;DR: my s4 gone and done a kablooey and I need parts.
