Trust me, there is no headgasket. Now coolant seals on the other hand might be what the seller meant. Those are akin to the headgaskets in piston engines somewhat...

Rotaries don't have a head gasket. Apex seals may be bad...is it blowing smoke under acceleration?

he's lying. there is no such thing in a rotary. i'd be very wary, especially if he says it is smoking a lot. a little smoke is normal, but ridiculous amounts could be a sign of something very serious.


btw - make sure you put a good topic ID so people wont just gloss over it when looking
