Newb thats beeds help

To everyone thanks in advance. I have a 87 na and a 88 na vert.

My problem is that the 87 i have a strong feeling has a blown coolant seal from the research ive done. I am really interested in rebuilding the motor myself but i have no where to do this. Also i would habe a shop do it but unfortunately i live in the middle of bum f**k and have no where to take it to. So im at the point of buying a crate motor and dropping it in. Where is the best place to purchase one in everyones experience.

PS id love to see your builds and any tips for a new rotary fanatic would be great!!

I don't think 13Bs have been available new for a very long time. IRP has been selling brand new 13BREW motors, but that's all I'm aware of still available.

Fortunately NA parts are a dime a dozen. I would contact one of the big vendors and get a quote for a rebuild, either you ship in your motor or they provide the core.

Turblown, IRP, Banzai Racing, you can't go wrong with any.


Edit: I see you're in GA, what part? Contact Raffy from 3FaceRacing. He closed up shop a few years ago, but is still around.
