quick stupid rebuild question
Hey guys... removed the engine of my project car ... the last keeper did a rebuild a couple of years ago... installed the engine... started it... engine sounded weired and was smoking (water leak)
... well he gave up... let the car rot in his backyard until i bought it 2 months ago ... engine has a full rebuild kit from atkins rotary ... just started to take it apart ... the whole kit looks farely new ... just saw he installed an o ring wrong ... can i just replace the o ring and close the engine up again without doing a FULL rebuild again? Or should i change everything over again?

yeah thought about just ordering a water o ring / seal kit ... but save the hassle with the changing the Apex seals and stuff thats still fine... ordering a full rebuild kit is not making senseas most hard seals are in allmost new condition ... there are just a few little parts that have been damaged through the last owners stupid way of putting things back together and breaking even more stuff...
is there a way to just order some parts? Like ,... i dont know what its called will make a pic 2morrow... the main pulley bolt had some remains of a plastic seal on it... i guess he managed to destroy that seal when he thightend that bolt up... and also behind the counterweigh there are 2 ... i think they are bearings... and one was shreded beyond recognition... can i get those parts seperatly without ordering a full rebuild kit? as ill have to change those defenitly ^^...
