Apex Seals - yes

they also have a full gasket kit for 350 bux...and a plain engine gasket kit for 150 bux.

you could get it cheaper at revolution rotary or try mazdaformance. What you need depends on what you want to do with the motor. You could reuse side seals, corner seals etc if they are within spec.

its 'usually' a good idea to replace the apex seals on any engine that has more than 30k miles..or at least the seal springs..
btw, you probably just need a gasket set. they're about 150 bux for the engine essentials
