What, you never heard of rebuilding a motor?

What happens is you ship your motor off to some company that specializes in rotary engines (use atkins rotary, they do nice work) and they replace all of the seals, springs, o-rings, apex seals, all that good stuff. Making the motor in essence brand new again.

Thats the expensive way, the cheaper way is to order a J-SPEC engine, usually about a grand. But hey, you get what you pay for....

I suggest you get everything working properly, and READ up on everything. The FAQ is a great place to start.

[edit] Okay so you said AFTER those. Intake, exhaust, and suspension are good places to start.
