Exclamation newbie needs help!!

I have just aquired a 87 turbo II that is in cherry condition with the exception of the rear rotor taking a dump, I am going to order a rebuilt 13B, but need to find a reputable place that will do the installation work for me! I do not have the time or resources to do it myself unfortunately, I am looking for a place in either southern california (LA area) or Northern Indiana!! Is there any upgrades that I should do while the motor is out? also what are thoughts about 3mm apex seals and street porting? (I'm sure that subject has been killed, but forgive me!!) Its been a few years since I owned a RX7!

Well sorry to hear about your problems. I say get the streetport done now while you've got the chance when buying the new engine or whatnot. I have not heard anything special about the 3mm seals over the 2mm seals really so cannot help ya there.

Not in Indiana, but Kevin deserves a mention.

I'd urge you to not get 3mm seals. Not from personal experience, but read this:
