Turbo II Apex Seals???

He everyone, About to buy my first RX7 as a rolling shell with Turbo II not yet installed. Since the engine is already out and has 100k miles on it, i wanted to give it some new Apex Seals, and O-rings. Anyone know where to get these from? I've searched and only found one place that sells over haul kits and stuff but they don't have prices labeled so i called and the owner never called back to tell me prices... Just looking for some OEM seals. I know aftermarket ones can get real pricey.

Thanks,
Andy

aftermarket ones can also be cheaper then OEM.
(rotary aviation's water jacket seals for example)

Give Dan a buzz at http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/home.php?cat=734 . Spend the bucks for the cryo hard seals. You'll thank yourself later.

Haha yeah i finally got Pics of the FC the guy was trying to sell me and it has no front fenders, hood, front wheels, interior, and engine and trans isn't in the car. AND the external parts of the engine are all off, laying in the car. So i called Atkinsrotary and asked how much a full Over haul kit would be for external and internal seals and what not, and it was 1300. Thats more than the car, and for that much i could have the machine work and bottom end built for the MR2. If the Rolling chassis was complete, i would most likely go with the FC because i love them, but since my MR2 IS complete, then i'm sticking with that for now. My dreams for and RX7 are on hold

Sorry it was Atkinsrotary i called. It was another place. But still, it's way expensive for my money situation right now. Soon enough though, i will have one
