rebuild kit question

Alright I am on a real tight budget for a rebuild like I am trying to spend around $800for a rebuild and I ran by this, is this kit for both rotors or just one...

http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/cu...7&cat=0&page=1

Any ideas where I can purchase the parts for my rebuild so I don't exceed $800 or am I trying the impossible...

From teh looks of it, I'm going to guess it's for both rotors. I've never really rebuilt one myself, but from the videos/pictures I've seen...it's my hypothesis.

You should probably wait until you can afford to replace everything that needs to be replaced so you're not doing it again and ending up spending more money.

By the number of corner seals shown, I'd assume it would be for both.

That doesn't have everything you'll need. Essential items would include water o-rings on top of that for the housings/irons... amongst other things.

If you want to go cheap, buy everything separately... AFTER inspecting your motor. Replace only what NEEDS to be replaced.

* water jacket o-rings
* apex seals+springs
* corner seal springs (corner seals might be reusable)
* side seal springs (side seals might be reusable)
* oil control ring o-rings (OEM)... (oil control rings might be salvagable)
* oil control ring springs
* front/rear main seal.
* pilot bearing/seal (always)
* thermopellet
* thermostat
* hylomar
* tension bolt washers
* whatever else you need as far as intake gaskets, water pump gaskets

EDIT: I'd like to add.. you SHOULD save up and replace everything.... Thats the right way if you want a good reliable engine. But on the cheap, there's nothing wrong with a floor-sweeper motor.
