I find it great that you are so excited to learn. Do your homework and then focus on the project at hand. Also I would recommend not to start untill you have all the parts purchased. Don't tear you engine apart and then let it sit for 2, 3 months until the parts are purchased. That makes the task much more difficult Someone can probably point you to a video tape that is available that is probably the best thing for you to get before you start. It covers the whole process. Do a search maybe or talk to www.atkinsrotary.com

Now that's the right perspective / attitude.
Let us know which Apex seals you go with. I've been eyeing the metal PHE Apex Seals here:

Agent_D,
I was planning to talk to about 8-9 rx-7 shops when my engine goes (another 100K at least before that thought).
I was thinking with 300rwhp which is my eventual target, I'd either have 3mm compresses steal or ceramic apex seals.
These look pretty good, but I'd want some racing or rx-7 pro shops opinions.
