Is there an article for engine rebuilds?

I am thinking about rebuilding my 13B (coolant seal failure), but I want to do it myself... Is there an article, or somewhere I can buy a video? I'm not scared of the job (I've rebuilt automatic transmissions) I just don't have the time to collect little tidbits of information.

Check out the videos. They're awesome. While you're at it, pick up a Haynes and FSM manual.

that would be on scary *** article, lol. The thought of someone trying to put how to rebuild a rotoary into words and to explain how to check if parts are in spec...

Buy the video from atkins or rotaryaviation

I do recommend the "How to overhaul your mazda 13b" from Bruce T. Video. It rocks, it allowed me to rebuild my engine.. I think I even did it right, as it's ran for about 700 miles now...

Haynes manual will be rather helpful, I got mine from advance auto, and the FSM is also very helpful, i got mine from iluvmyrx7.com

Hope this helps! it's really not that bad of a project

On the website that Dan gave out, it has the video you are looking for, plus another good one.

A more direct link for those lazy people like myself out there:

And what do you think of it, J-Rat? That wasn't much of a review
