It all depends on how much money you want to spend a typical rebuild is near 1500 or more that includes seals and gaskets...the higher you go the more stuff you replace... a good site to check is www.rotaryresurection.com

basic apex seals are ~ $800, but if the engine has over 140K miles on it you might consider a full rebuild kit.

You usually can get away with just apex seals with OEM HP levels, but if your going for a high output engine you'll want the FULL rebuild & blueprinted engines.

Just make sure he gives you some mileage warentee.
