Hey IM looking for a reasonable priced rebuild kit. The cheapest one I've been able to find is RB and it's like 1300. I've got an 87 Turbo II. is there any secrets or somewhere I can get it cheeper??

Well, I've got a good engine right now, it's just I've got a blown spare engine. I figured I would buy atkins rebuilding video, the full rebuild kit, and the porting templets from RB. I've never done a rotary rebuild before, but I like doing my own work, and I'm pretty mechanically inclined. I think I'm going to be doing quite a few rebuilds in the future and I think the cost of having it done and freight seeing that I there arnt any rebuilders around here would end up costing too much.

make sure you do the exhaust as well. Removing the diffusers is a bitch if you have them, though.
