I think the process is pretty streight forward. There are some poeple that dont like atkins motors, but thats a different story. I dont think you will have any problems. Good luck with the 3mm..

Have been looking into same thing.

I think I'm just gonna get the specs for them and have a local machine shop do it. Should be much cheaper.

Are you using their 3mm seals?? Putting it all back together yourself??

Let me know how it all goes will be doing it myself as soon as I can scrape together the money to do it.

Good luck.

Although it is straight forward, there is not much margin of error. Any machine shop can do it but you would have to check the clearances yourself to make sure they did not mess up. And machine shop rates are pretty high anyways. Might as well spend a little more and have it done at atkins, atleast they won't look at a rotor wondering what the heck it is.

I guess I can speak from experience on this. The motor in my race car was built by Atkins and has 3mm apex seals in it. The car has its breakin period plus 700 HARD race miles on it. Obviously they know what they are doing. They have been building rotary motors for years and mine is still running.

I would trust them over a local machine shop to mill the rotors correctly.

I've got their 2mm seals in my engine and they're quality all the way! Don't even have my first oil change on the motor yet (after the break in one of course) but this thing has fired everytime after the first 20 miles.

Count me as a happy customer so far. I pound the snot out of my motor too.
