Yeah if i can get it to stop overheating would be a much better gift. But for $400 what would you aspect. I am new to rotary motors. I have replaced thermostat and radiator cap. Now it is either water pump or clutch fan bad.

I plan on upgrading the wheels to something more low profile. Maybe turbo in the future.

I have already replaced the fuel filter/spark plugs/rad cap/thermostat plus whatever the previous owner replaced.

Well it looks like a full rebuild. Steam coming from the manifolds indicates leaking coolant?

Looks like the kit i need. But question is that all i will need? You guys are the experts compared to me on this stuff.

Thanks but everything points to the coolant seals being bad. If so it is a complete rebuild for it.
